Hi, i've got a house built in 1905 so no cavity, lime mortar, lath and plaster celing etc...
Parts of the house have been plastered by plaster boarding over wooded battons leaving a gap to the bricks. Front room needs redoing but heard that these type of houses benefit from lime plaster allowing the building to breath. The house has a suspended wooded floor with air bricks, but the chimney has been removed in the bedroom so now surely not as much ventilation as when the chimney was intact. Its had a dpc injected some years ago, and recently had a small area replastered using board and a damp plastic membrane.
Anyway, worth getting lime plaster or dot/dab or batton plasterboard?
Any help gratefully received
