    i have enclosed a picture of a bedroom of an older house.
    The walls seem to be made of wood .

    I dont understand plastering as such... Do i get a plasterer to fix the walls ?

    Is it necessary ?
    When would it be time to get walls plastered ?

    Yes, the picture is necessary.

    1. Walk to bottlo
    2. Purchase your fave tipple (Moshe may like a dry cider)
    3. Walk to local park
    4. Imbibe in copious amounts of preferred bevvy
    5. Wait....
    6. You're plastered

    Need to see more photos but given the timber mid rail, unless decorative and not used to hide sheet joins, those walls are probably horsehair plaster sheets or asbestos sheeted.

    With those cover strips it does not look like a plaster wall.

    Probably asbestos. Proceed with caution and have it checked out.
