Hi there,
I'm relatively new to renovations and have just removed all the tiles in my kitchen. I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at now - images linked below - but it appears there's the original plaster or plasterboard, which has a kind of brown paper coating, then the original yellow paint, followed by a new layer of paper which has been painted over in white. The wall is full of holes and the tiles have pulled off some plaster in places - again, see photos:

I think I could fill and repair most of it, but the thing that I'm confused about is how to get a good finish when much of the surface is now this kind of fluffy brown ripped paper, then large ares of paint on top of that, then more paper, etc.
Should I scrape the heck out of it and then steam all the paper off? Can you tell if it's plasterboard and if so, should I just rip the whole thing out and replace? I have no idea, so suggestions and guidance very welcome!
Many thanks,
Jay
