Plastering a corner

easiest:

galvanised metal corner beading, fixed with plaster of paris to the brick, plaster up with onecoat from wickes (excellent stuff)

I don't use the plastic corner beading, I find it too flexible

traditional:

knock wooden wedges into the mortar gap on the corner of the wall, nail a wooden corner bead to the wedges, then plaster up either in the trad manner or with one coat from wickes (excellent stuff)

I've successfully used 'sticks like s*1t' type adhesive in place of the wooden wedge / nail combination.

you could also use a wooden board nailed to one wall face to make an edge to plaster up to, then plaster up to the first straight edge and finish with metal edging tape but you'd have to skim over the tape. it's fiddly.

personally, I'd go for option 1

Fantastic, thanks.

hahahahhaha.

DIY it, it's easily within your capabilities. Is the plaster lime, gypsum, or render?

Cant be a pro if its too tricky for him. ;-) a local handyman will sort it if you are not capable.

What was it about the 1970's and houses? Wood effect hardboard, polystyrene ceiling tiles, stone cladding, pink/yellow patio slabs. imitation leaded light windows, formica?

What was that all about? Were we all on drugs or something?

Actually we might well have been......

They were all new (except formica).
