Flattening bumpy textured concrete wall.
I want to paint my room, but before I do so, I would quite like to flatten my walls to a smooth texture. What is the easiest way to do so? Can I flatten it? Is there some sort of filler I can spread on top of it? Whatever is the cheapest and easiest. Thanks all.

Are you certain your wall is concrete? If so then grinding is the best way to smooth it. If your wall is made of something else like sheetrock with a texture applied then you could scrape it off or possibly skim coat it with drywall mud though getting a smooth finish takes practice.

Welcome to the forums!
A pic or two would help - How to insert pictures.
If it's a drywall texture scraping and then skim coating is usually the best method.

Here you go, I've attatched some pictures. I'm sure my walls are definitely concrete blockwork. And while im at it, I might ask about my ceiling too, which I believe is made from plasterboard. I know pretty much nothing about anything DIY by the way, I have literally no clue what this kind of thing would cost or how difficult it would be to do, so it'd be nice to get an idea. Thanks so much!
