Removing stud wall

[gnvqsos]

I wish to remove stud partition wall to enlarge a bedroom.It will be messy as it is lath and plaster(in Sheffield that means black ash mortar).Any tips on removal and how does one make good the ceiling after?Similarly how does one make good the exposed vertical at the 90degree return?I imagine it is a question of plastering and the judicious use of plasterboard.
I can confirm the wall is not load bearing and has no pipe/cable runs lurking within.Thanks

You imagine correctly.

Smashing the hell out of it will be messy, getting a big saw and removing it in sections will be slightly less dusty but will take longer.

I hope you're very sure it's not load bearing.

My only experience of this was with a stud wall that wasn't supposed to be load bearing, but due to settlement it was. When I removed the last vertical I was so scared I tied a rope to it and pulled it away from a short distance. There was a bit of a thump, but it turned out OK.
