Obviously taking all the wallpaper off is #1.
The plaster had blown underneath the wallpaper, it was very crunchy & then when the paper was taken off & the plaster pulled out, this is pretty much what was left behind.
Underneath that rail, the top 'half' appears to be solid wall whereas the lower half seems to be plaster & lath. You can see a hole in the right side just above the angled skirting.
We've a plasterer who's going to do the job but he hadn't seen it without the wallpaper on.
If i can get an answer to the question here without calling him out just to take a look at it then great.
I don't want to have to knock off ALL the plaster above the rail. Everything left seems sound.
You can almost see a straight line above the top part of the big section of knocked off plaster - would you just knock off all the old plaster to this straight line & then down to the rail?
As for the lower half, which appears split in 2 halves, i'm not so sure.
