plumbing solution ?
(OP)
Is it posible descale a domestic weterpipe which is still embeded in the wall with some sort of chemical , without having to replace said pipe . Or do I have no option but to rip it out and make a mess of the original plaster work

Why can't you "roto rooter" down from the vents?

If you are talking about a 1950's tract house, it should not present much of a cost to replace the pipe.
If you are talking about a historic renovation, you can probably use more elaborate measures such as hydrochloric acid to remove lime scale, if that is what your problem is.
If your plumbing code allows, you may consider using PEX tubing which snake through the walls, leaving the original piping in place.
