I had to have my house injected and used rudders and payne a birmingham based company.
They were going to take the plaster off up to 1 metre and then use a render to replace where they took the old plaster off. (maybe your guy should have used render?)
I decided to use slate lathe and foil backed plasterbooard which they accepted as a suitable alternative to their render.
Hope this helps.
Btw i found rudders and payne very helpful i wonder if it would be worthwhile for them to call out and have a look for you?
Cheers and good luck

plasterboards on battons is not a suitable alternative to render(maybe your guy should of used render). If the damp problem hasnt been sorted plasterboards will only hide it, fungus will form behind the boards you may notice a smell in a few months.
There is no sign of any fungus or damp on the brick at the moment and they walls have been bare for a few months now ?
I dont think that this work was neccesary but the mortage people made me do it.
I believe that the problem was from condensation as the house was never heated and a few of the rooms were like an ice box where as the others were boiling hot (the neighbour told me). also the quarrie were laid on ash and covered with a carpet (maybe this caused damp in the plaster)
Cheers
