All in all, it looks like if we hammer at it much more we are going to have to remove and re-plaster that wall completely, as opposed to teh simple room re-skim we have booked for tomorrow. Tiem beat me, but i will revisit the plan when we re-decoate next year.
On a positive note, despite the amount of work required, sounds like there's plenty of space back there to run some cables though
Maybe even the possibility of small AV shelves or built-in centre spearker in the wall where the chimney was (if I understood correctly).
