Hello i have ripped out the kitchen
in a house i've just bought.
On one of the walls the dot and dabbed
plasterboard is coming off as obly
bonding coat has been usedbto stick it
rather than the proper stuff.

My question is can i just rip the bits which are blown
and dot and dab a new piece of board or does the whole
lot need pulling off?

Regards

Yes you can, I’d do a pretty much continuous dab around the edge of your new bit.
Bonding can (not saying it should) be used to dab board on, so wouldn’t normally expect it to fail.
 
thanks.

does it need to be flush with the existing boards and skim or belowexisting skim so that the new bits can be
skimmed?

Flush if you’re re-skimming the whole wall, back by a couple of mill if youre patching and blending it in.
