I live in an old (circa 1900) house. The plaster on the exterior walls is old and crumbling, and the plaster on the interior walls is coming away from the lath.

Since moving in I have been periodically renovating each room, removing all lath and plaster including ceilings and getting a plastering company to come and fit plasterboard and skim.

The next room on the list is the hallway. The meter and fusebox is located high up on the hall wall. Ideally I would like to remove the plaster altogether (this is an exterior wall) as I can tell the plaster is not 'stuck' to the wall in a number of places due to a hollow sound when I knock it.

Has anyone had experience with a similar situation? I am wondering how to approach this, perhaps its better to leave the 'old' plaster behind the meter removing surrounding plaster only - or is there another option?

Comments welcome.
