If you need a plasterer to apply a fresh skim coat to old plaster walls, you will need to prepare your walls first as they cannot and will not work with damaged and crumbling old plaster! So remove any old crumbling plaster and clean the brickwork beneath. Also scrape away any old pieces of wallpaper and apply an adhesive like PVA or a product such as Blue Grit to provide a really good base for a new plaster skim coat.
Once dry your plasterer can apply a skim coat directly with no fuss for a professional finish. This can be tempting, especially if your walls and ceilings are covered in wood chip! Unfortunately, it's not a good idea. Not only will the plaster fall off with a layer of wallpaper, you will not be able to find a plasterer willing to try it!
The plaster needs to bind to the wall itself, not a layer of paper covering the wall. Even though wood chip is pretty strong for wallpaper, it's not strong enough to hold the additional weight of a skim coat of plaster.
So all the wallpaper needs to be removed to ensure proper adhesion of the new plaster skim. This means some serious work if you have wood chip, or be prepared to pay a decent sum to a tradesman to remove it for you! Although less common nowadays, it is sometimes still necessary to plaster directly to old brickwork, not always on small areas of wall where sections of old plaster have come away, but sometimes over an entire wall.
It will depend a lot on the condition of the wall, crumbling old brickwork will not take a new coat of plaster well and your plasterer will not be willing to even try it!
So best to always brush down the brickwork with a wire brush ensuring all dust and crumbling brick is removed and only sound brickwork remains.
