Hi All,
Apologies if this has been addressed before.
We are turning the wife's study into a nursery and have completely stripped the room. What we found was all the plaster on the chimney breast was blown. Now, we want to avoid plastering if possible so I was thinking of two options. Either remove all the plaster on that wall and then dot and dab plasterboard onto it, or remove the plaster and screw one inch thick battens onto the brick and put plasterboard on that.
I will say that the brickwork underneath is quite rough, in that it isn't perfectly flat.
The red rectangle is the wall in question (it's also a party wall!) Green rectangle is a plasterboard wall with bathroom on the other side of it. Blue rectangle is an exterior brick/plaster wall with a window in it.
Which is easier? Would you recommend something different?
Thanks
Neal
