Difficult without more info
Plasterboard fixed to battens ??
Hold straight edge ( piece of wood !!) cut with Stanley knife/ pad saw ( wont be easy ,
worried about pipes/wiring so wont advise anything too aggressive)
If its more than 'about 1m square' take full piece out. Then at least you can fix back to orig batten
It's dotted and dabbed to the original brickwork. Is this bad? There are no pipes or wire along that wall. The biggest problem will be getting the board out from behind the loo.
What's a pad saw:o?
ETA Just looked up Pad Saw- that looks like it might do the job, I would envisage losing a couple of fingers with a Stanley knife.I have plenty of willpower - it's won't power I need.
