Whats needed to fix this plastering job
Ive recently had a plasterer in to skim my media wall. Had to get him back as there were a few holes etc and he came back and sorted. Everything looked alright but when it came to painting I realised that all the edges inside the alcoves are essentially squiggly and you can visibly see high spots as well. Is this an easy fix?

Internal wall repair
Having removed wallpaper I found a patch of plaster approx 50cm x 50cm which I assume was a previous repair was lifting away from the wall. It’s hollow behind and a hole in the plaster allows me to see the masonry behind. If I was to remove the plaster seeing as its coming of the wall anyway, can I use a masonry / cement filler to fill and level it off prior to getting a professional to skim the wall? Would I need to waterproof with blackjack or something similar? Thanks J
Cracks in bedroom ceiling
Hi all, My mums bedroom ceiling has large cracks approx 2-3mm wide and over 30cm long in the middle of the ceiling (near light fitting). The ceiling looks slightly bowed and when pushing near the cracks the ceiling is moving. She has previously tried filling it and crack came back. I was going to try and fill it again with easifill, but with the ceiling slightly moving when pushed I'm concerned it will be a bigger job. Does anyone have any advice please? It's a 1930s ex council house with damp issues in past
