If the laths are still intact and haven't been cut when the work was carried out then this is a pretty good way to make a quick and dirty semi permanent repair:

If the laths have been cut then you have 2 choices:
1. Strip back to the studwork, board it out and then either tape and joint or skim the wall.
2. Try to get a small piece of timber behind the laths that have been cut that bridges between the nearest uncut ones and all of the cut ones and get a screw in each one then fill as per video.

Thanks. Great advice as always.

I’ve seen the video. The overall plan will be too strip and reboard it. Just after a temp fix to use as an office in the meanwhile

Is it ok have wall plastered then at some point get ceiling removed and boarded
