Hi Tracey. Remove old wall paper and any flaking paint. Making sure the ceiling and walls have dryed out, Prime damaged area with an oil based primer/sealer to stabalize the surfaces and also take care of any water marks/stains. Skim to flush the surface and sand smooth. It might need more than one skim. It should then be ready to redecorate.
Hi Tracey , you will have to strip back all loose & flaking paper & paint , fill any damaged areas & coat with stain block , so as the water marks don't bleed thru , then double coat with emulsion . If your plaster board is badly damaged you may be better to re sheet this . Hard to say really if you can't see the damage .he this helps you
