What's the best approach here?
Drill / chisel / chase the runs for the cables you want. Then do a rough tidy with some filler. Then pay a plasterer to finish the walls - check with them if they need any other prep. Then paint and fit the skirting - if it is new I'd be tempted to paint the walls once cured and paint the skirting before fitting it and tidy up the wall / skirting as needed.
Also when you say cables I'm assuming you mean speaker / Internet etc. If its electrical /power cables then you'd be best using an electrical person. You could always check with them first and do all the chasing for the cable runs so they don't have to.

Alright kiddos this is pretty basic stuff but its been eluding me like crazy.
I've got a few masonry walls with chunks out of them, missing skirting, that sort of thing. I also need some cables hidden. Some of the chunks can be filled with polyfilla type stuff, but others are large chunks of plaster off the wall.
What's the best approach here? Do I sand the walls, get someone to skim, then paint then skirting? Can I fit skirting myself?
