When i converted my singles skin garage the spec from building control was.
3x2 stud work to create a 2" cavity
3" kingspan in between studs
Breathable membrane on the back of the stud
Visqueen vapour barrier on the front of the stud.
My way of tackling it would be to seal the walls with a 3-1 sbr, once dry apply a 1-1 pva and skim whilst tacky.. Had 2 failures with grit and was shocked at how easy i scraped the whole ceiling off.
Yes you can re-skim it. Any decorating done in the 1st 12 months must be classed as temporary. It can be painted with a breathable paint after 6 weeks and papered after 12 months as the wall has to be allowed to dry out thoroughly.
