Hi all
We started what was meant to be a fairly small project in our dining room. On starting to work with the walls a large portion of them had extremely loose plaster. Now we have dealt with that we have ended up back to brick.
The walls are 2 bricks thick with no air gap.
We have been told so many different solutions and it is causing a level of panic / fear / confusion.
We have been suggested the following.
1 - dot and dab with thermal plasterboard and some fixings. Will lose around 5cm per wall.
2 - treated battens with foil backed plaster board. Will lose around 5cm per wall.
3 - sand and cement plaster with some form of water proofing mix. Assume we lose around 10mm
4 - lime plaster which seems complicated and expensive.
Pics attached.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Russ
