I'm having a 2 bed victorian mid terrace (circa 1880) renovated.
The builders have opened up the walls to install radiator pipework and electrics and a lot of the interior plaster is coming away in HUGE chunks on both internal and external walls. According to them whoever did the last refurb (80's we guess) didn't prime the walls properly and did a terrible job of plastering. This is the back wall of house in guest bedroom as an example:

They've suggested patching up the worse areas and have quoted the following at £200 per room... right remedy / right price??
"Fix additional rendering issues (loose wall parts), prime render adhesive with Fibre Drywall mesh and re–render it"
