Hello, now typing this again.
Have scraped the doors and frame with a wallpaper scraper and a triangular scraper then sanded with a b&d mouse sander. The 80 grit paper gets clogged so needs a vacuum and then a wire brush to clean the paper. There is still some low areas that none of these hit.
The property belongs to an ex, and she has no clue what she is doing. She is a use 5 pack of poundshop brushes and then throw them away.
She buys paint from b&m and then wonders why the paint needs prep, she doesn't do prep. She paid someone to do this paint work, via air tasker, and has not gone back. What kind of decorator gets the client to get the paint ..

There are two ways:
-Just paint it now, maybe take off all visibly loose stuff with a scraper first, paint with primer (peel stop as primer sounds great, but I am not in the UK so don't know the product) key with fine grit, paint. Have a way nicer door.
-Get rid of ALL the paint, different ways to do that. Then filler, sand, prime, paint, sand, paint, maybe paint a third time.
Have a perfect door.
Always first option here (if I am not just touching up) as we are renting, and I am not investing several days of my life making other people's stuff perfect for free.
