So the place we're buying has been inhabited by someone that has smoked loads of fags all day long - the ceiling and walls in the sitting room as bad as an old pub!!
Anyone got any idea what the best way to sort them out for re-decorating is?
My initial thought was sugar soap then some kind of stain blocking primer, then paint.
But then in terms of time/costs I am now minded to either remove the plasterboard ceiling and get it re-sheeted, taped and filled, then painted - which might be more expensive but possibly give a much better finish...
Anyone had to deal with this before?
