Getting rid of interior roughcast in an existing house

Dear forum,

my husband and I are very interested in a house from 1989 that unfortunately has rather coarse rough plaster on the walls inside everywhere. Now we are wondering whether choosing the house would also mean accepting the rough plaster, or if there is a way to get rid of the rough plaster with costs and effort within limits. Removing the plaster seems to be quite complicated, at least that was the result of my initial research. Would it perhaps be an option to plaster over the rough plaster, and if so, how expensive would that be if we had it done? Or is there a completely different option? Presumably, we would mainly want to do it in the living room, the only problem being that the ceiling height there is partly six meters...

We would be very grateful for tips or advice! Thanks in advance

Hi, my sister also had such a plaster applied in her house. But at some point you just don't like it anymore. Removing it is a real mess (they sanded it off), but do you want to bring potential other problems into the house with an additional layer of plaster? Think long term and rather do it "properly" once.

Although for this there is surely expert advice from a plasterer who can also give a direct offer. Maybe "doing it properly" is possible with less effort than I assumed.

Instead of starting a new topic, I am attaching my question to this forum. I would like to remove an interior rough plaster that contains a kind of small gravel. I suspect that the plaster is approximately 0.5 - 0.6 cm thick. My question at this point is whether it is possible to plaster over such a plaster reasonably smoothly, or if it is even physically better to remove the entire plaster.

So I can't imagine that there is anything against simply plastering this smoothly. I definitely wouldn't bother chiseling off or sanding the dirt. It's plaster and paint, nothing more. Physics was never my thing - but it shouldn't play a role here anyway. ;)

Let the plaster dry and done. Further physical considerations can only be a hindrance.
