@macaroon. Thanks,helps to type out what I think I need to do!
Another probably a daft question for a DIYr , but is there a good way of knowing how much of the existing stuff to remove? It seems fairly stable but when tapping a little hollow sounding suggesting it's came away from the brickwork. I guess it's probably original plaster from the 20s when the house was built. Figured the tiles didn't fall off the wall beforehand so it can't have been failing entirely.
How heavy are the new tiles? Are you planning on fixing anything to/around the hollow sounding areas? Living in this house forever? I started off being all "if in doubt, hack it out" but am tending towards "fix it when it actually falls off the wall".
