How to prep painted walls

Hi all,

 

My house has fairly recently plastered walls, there's no wall paper and not much damage to them. Other than the new stud walls to be created, I am happy with the state of the walls which will be left. There is going to be a first fix of electrics and plumbing so there will be damage/patch work. Some walls will have panelling added to it.

 

I am planning on how these walls will need to be prepped as I could get this out the way fairly early.

 

Right now my thought is to get an orbital sander and smooth off the paint that is currently on, affix panelling where needed,  and then paint a regular coat with a roller or airless sprayer.

 

thanks in advance!
