1920s traditional house.

[Pjb999]

I am replastering my 1920s house, where i am back to brickwork. It has been suggested to me, to have the walls sand and cement rendered with a water proofer, and then the walls dotted and dabbed with wall board. Any thoughts on this method. Suggestions on how to do the job. I am reluctant to start chasing the brickwork for electric back boxes as the bricks may simpmy crumble.

External walls I generally insulate with solid insulation after building a stud wall in front , leaves space for electrical and plumbing etc . No need for render unless there’s damp , tge internal walls you could just render and skim

Not sure what's funnier. This comment or someone floating a solid external wall with bonding and proudly sharing it on a forum with people who know better

Insulation on internal walls for me. Transforms the feel of the place.

What thickness you put on internal?

building control will generally say 47mm (50mm) but anything is a bonus. If floors and ceilings/roofs are upgraded then it’s taken into account. If you have a tiny room where space is at a premium then they may allow/spec less. If no building control then anything is a bonus. I grew up in a house where there was ice on the inside of the windows in winter, like a lot of people. Double glazing definitely changed the feel of the place. Probably the wrong word as I don’t support the current progressives bullshit that invades us at the mo.
