Hi all,
I had lots of great advice on the joist situation of our chimney breast removal. That's been dealt with and we are now trying to work out the best way to repair the bedroom wall. It has raggedy brick sections and some cement render sections as well as a filled in old door which will have plasterboard on it. There are a few areas were the bricks have either crumbled out or were never there to begin with so there are some deep gaps

Option 1:
Get the bricks back as flat as possible and call someone in to plaster the whole wall

Option 2:
Remove all remaining cement render on the wall and plasterboard, tape and joint.

Option 3:
Pack up, move to Italy and never return.

Answers on a postcard.

I forgot to mention two things:

1. There will be built in style wardrobes on the wall to the right so not too worried about looks for that.
2. The door frame is built right up to the wall. The plaster is crumbling in the corners the whole way up. We do not have the space to plasterboard over the cement render because it would take over the architrave. (if that makes sense)
