Hi,
Just checking (before I waste any more hours with the steamer..)...is it essential to remove old wallpaper (approx 3 layers!) before skimming them?
TIA!

That's a yes then...
Haven't gotten quotes yet...a friend is arranging for a few guys to do lots of work for me..getting materials at cost and those guys work for a set daily rate. (presume it'll work out around €200 - 400 per room??)
Let me know how much it costs when you do. I got quoted 250 for a large bedroom and 400 for a V large living room. To be honest the price sounded fair enough to me. I wasnt quoted per square foot or anything like that but I just want to know what the typical ballpark figures are that people get quoted. That is a Kildare price from a highly recommended skilled tradesman.
My builder put up new plasterboard over the wallpaper and plastered onto that. He prepared the whole upstairs in a day and saved a fortune in labour. If you can live with an inch or so less in each room this might be an option.
