We had some spongy protective foam on the corners of our walls and tables to protect our son as he was learning to walk, but now we've decided to remove it and behind the one section we've discovered the wall is actually separating from the bricks behind it. Is there anything we can do to fix this, or do we need to get an interior plasterer in? Here is a picture of it:

Basically it's like the whole layer of paint is actually on some kind of thin cardboard which has separated from the bricks. It's a new build flat, so I was thinking of trying to get it covered under the NHBC warranty, but it might not be covered since we put the spongy stuff on the wall. Seems poor that the entire thing separated from the bricks though.
