All is now answered and the customer will be happy to pay a

within 6 ft of the socket).
Eeek!

His "new" house has a big damp problem. Blown plaster everywhere
and some very odd extentions and additions. The garage is built on
top of what I believe is an air raid shelter.

So you did him a favour, removing all that old plaster...

Anyone removing the wallpaper would have done the same thing to the plaster.

The plaster is knackered and the wallpaper held it up.
