  • @absurdbird Do you know what a rough cost would be to take it all back to brick and replaster? It's a hallway wall in a victorian terrace house.

  • Taking it back to brick at least a few days for one person with a scutch comb SDS attachment.

    Then there's the cost of disposal.

    From the look of it, it will be lime plaster, which is a magnitude more pleasant than stripping gypsum to brick.

    How would you have it re-plastered? With lime would be the purist way (ask @Señor_Bear about that), and likely the priciest, gypsum to brick is doable, or you could dot & dab tapered boards and just paint / paper them for cheap & effective.

    Also what @absurdbird wrote - why bother? If it's in reasonable nick, just skim it.
