Should i go identifying other areas of blown plaster and take it off first? The wall is L shape where the longer arm is against the stairs and shorter arm is around the window

Tapping the wall has revealed some areas where plaster is blown. Will this need PVA + hard wall application and then British gypsum bonding as a final coat as suggested by you tube videos (thank you to @Wayners

The wall paper started coming off due to leak ing water through a roof hole. That has been fixed. Most of the Wall paper came off quite easily by knifing

Thank you. Door has not been moved. It is the wall that had wall paper on it. On one section of the wall the bonding plaster comes of very easily and i can hear hollow sound when i tap the wall near the other edge of the wall. What will be the ways of restoring the wall if I decide to do it...

Have removed most of the wall paper from wall adjoining stairs Can’t figure out how to remove a portion which seems like cardboard or skim - is it plaster board or wall paper backing that has stubbornly stuck to the wall I don’t see the same across the wall though
