Remove a plaster fire surround

[diy-newby]

We have recently moved house and the previous occupiers had a plaster fire surround. We want to replace this with something else. Is there any chance I can remove this without...

1. Bringing down half the wall in the process
2. Removing the surround in one piece

Thanks

Chances are its been bonded to the wall with some ind of adhesive similair to the plaster its ade of or no-nails or even Dry wall adhesive?

You sure its not affixed to the wall with blind screws or brackets?

Other than that its a case of hacking the plaster of around its profile.

I'm not sure. Haven't checked to be honest. I just assumed it would be plastered on!
