Having taken down the suspended ceiling installed by the previous owners and stripping the woodchip wallpaper we've discovered that the ceiling was hiding water damage and of course most of the plaster from one wall along with large sections from the water damaged wall.
The cause of the water damage appears to have long since fixed and have checked from above in the (unconverted) attic and there's no sign of water ingress there.
Some of the original lime(?) plaster that now shows in the water damaged area is fairly soft and crumbly - does this area/whole wall need to go back to brick or can we remove the soft areas and patch up with bonding before doing a top coat?
