I've bought some Everbuild 503 SBR and will apply this as you've recommended. If it indeed does hold the wall together completely with no further crumbling then I might just leave it at that because I don't mind what it looks like as long as it stops chucking dust down the loft hatch onto the...

Interesting but valid point. I wasn't thinking back to the original construction, but instead to how it's currently insulated and heated. (y)

Thanks both for the input. Any advantages of the watered down plaster compared to the SBR before I pull the trigger and buy one of them? I would say I am reluctant to do a sand/cement parge in the loft - would rather just seal and paint over it if possible as my sole goal here is to have as...
