Angle grinder is one of my least used tools. I guess it could be useful in this case but you'll need to be very careful not to leave the surface covered in ridges.
I've been using an IR stripper with some success on cement cills but mostly I chip paint off with a hammer and sharp chisel. I guess it's a technique that you get better at after you've done a few hours though!

Amazing. Super helpful as always.
I think I'll go with the Fibarex first as it's a delivery thing for me, then if needed I can swing by Screwfix. I guess I'll grab the 3 piece set and a big float, but leave the external corner one.
Think I'll also grab a 4½ grinder as I've been holding on buying one until the next DIY job comes up. I reckon it'll be faster/easier using one with the brilo pad discs than going at it with a wire brush.
