If it's gloss/silk walls then WBA.
If theres a fair bit of paste residue still on the walls WBA it mate it'll seal it in & dry rock hard to skim over whereas pva won't on old paste.
If not pva it :RpS_wink:

suagr soap the walls to remove any paper paste residue then glue it or WBA

take ALL the paper off even the tiny bits!!!!!!!! pva it then skim it no need to fnck but with cleaning the wall with this and that, just slap it on mate and if its s**t then let it dry and have another go
(dont fnck about with west bromich albion and all that lot just pva it)

it would work out cheaper to employ a plasterer. the time you will take and the cost of the tools it is a no brainer!
