We have a had a bedroom skimmed but in one wall there is a small 2cm sq area which was not polished very well. Is a little rough, think the plasterer

I've been fitting plasterboard to some stud walls in my house. Its the first time I've done it and a couple of the screws near the edges / corners have crushed the plasterboard slightly. Does it really matter? Also there are some slight overlaps in a couple of places where bits of the boards stand proud of the next one by a couple of
