A house we hope to buy is Victorian and has quite a lot of original, rather ornate coving and ceiling roses (some have been replaced over the years with newer stuff we don't care about).
One thing we might want to do down the line is line the single-layer brick external walls with an internal wall to improve insulation. This means each wall moves in maybe 6" so the covings would have to come down, be resized and re-affixed.
Is this feasible or would making this decision basically be tantamount to saying goodbye to the original coving which will fall apart when removed?
