Yep I'd recommend thistle bond-it , a touch pricey but does wot it says on the tin

If its only a small area then Wicks bonding agent is ideal as its packaged in a small tub. Anything larger a tub a bond it will be your best bet.

Will sanding the walls have the same effect I.e take the shine away from the paint or is it not worth the risk,as it's a hole room.thanks

You could sand it and then Boom, just buy the Wickes Pink stuff, it will always come in handy.

i would pva the walls, the bond it types need to be applied the day before.
the pva needs to be mixed just right, not to wet, not to strong, open the windows, leave for a while while you get the rest of your gear set up. if it is still to wet put a sponge over the walls, then skim.
