You're not going to get it back on, so go up to it or be prepared to replace.
Carefully removing isn't going to get you anywhere.

A lot of the refurbs I do, have s**t unattractive woodwork, so just quicker to rip out and replace. Found a house that I might put an offer in for me and the mrs which is in a time warp, so don’t want to destroy the character. May not need a ‘back to brick’ approach, but probably will given the age, but might not, but probably will, but could be ok if it’s not f**k*d...but probably will!

House that age the lime render will probably fall away (might even be just held together with lining paper). Leave all woodwork in-situ and float and set it all. Don’t dab - looks & sounds s**t in a nice old house. Also, you can charge proper rates as you will only be one of a handful that can do that.
Most of that old woodwork is quality you can’t buy anymore. Knocks and chips showing the history of the way people have lived over the years.

Bit pie in the sky at mo Andy but you never know...could be mine. Never had central heating in so might not be too bad, but still doubtful. Thinking worst case scenario etc.
Anyway jumping the gun, but you know how these things start to go through your head!
