Plaster board help

[winchman]

Want to refresh a bed room , walls under the paper are very poor, plaster is still ok but years of flaking paint etc so I was thinking coving off skirting off leave wall paper on and cover the lot with fresh plaster board?
So how do I do it?

As you will still have to skim the wall why not take the paper off and simply skim the wall

If the plaster is fine as per op strip the paint. Sand and fill the plaster and start again with paint

you need to get back as far as easily possible, scrape, pull, whatever to get the paper off, if it comes off it is not a sound enough surface to attach new plaster board to, then dot and dab, basically dobs of adhesive every 12" or whatever the youtube vid recommends, then assuming taper edge boards and you get them as flat as possible, self adhesive mesh tape and a wide spreader to apply probably two coats of jointing compound, lightly sand the joint, primer and paint or re-paper, to skim the whole lot would be better but for a bedroom not required provided you can lay a good joint, you want a 6-8" wide steel spreader to do the joint, you do not ant to sand too much or you go through the paper outer, worst way if you make a complete dogs of it get a bloke in to skim it,

Again. If the plasters ok. Sand it back and fill.
Skirting architrave and coving can stay on.
No point reboarding if the plaster is sound

If you do overboard it you will also have to extend the door lining width refit architrave and rehang the door along with skirting and coving.

Extractor dustmask and a orbital sander. Be done in a few hours.

Easily done by rebating thicker custom frame architrave to cover board and tuck into door casing

Na. Bit of 1x1 counter sunk holes. Wood glue and screw it on then fit architrave as normal.

Not hard but why bother if the plaster is good.

Yeah a lot of work when you can simply skim
