Has a step been missed?

I just had damp proofing work done in my Victorian tenement (I know it’s controversial we needed the guarantee). We’ve just had the walls skimmed and the plasterer noticed the bottom section of plasterboard is just floating and has some give. Behind the membrane is brick as is the rest of the wall I’m pretty sure. So there’s nothing solid to fit skirting to.

Is there a step that has been missed? Is there a solution that doesn’t require ripping the plasterboard out?

Thank you

Do I also need a joiner?

Hi all. I have a bedroom with an internal down pipe that has been boxed in, I want to extend it to the ceiling and have new coving installed throughout. Will then have the full room skimmed.

Is this something that the right plasterer could tackle or will I need a joiner first?

Many thanks
