Plasterboarding over Wooden Cladding?

[herds]

Sorry for the bad pic, but thought it was better than none. The cladding along this wall I want to remove, I was about to pull it out today when I found its quiet securely attached to the stairs, the skirting on the stairs, the handrails, the architraves etc etc..


So the builder side of me thought... why don't I just screw plaster board to it and skim over. The architrave is about 15 from the cladding so 9.5 board and skim should be fine.

Any thoughts?

As long as you dont go through the other side into the stair side. Use 9.5mm board and plenty of 25mm screwa

Cheers Guys.

The other side is the same wood cladding however its on the stairs so doesn't bother me.

When I was searching for this on diynot or some such some guy said "skim it", was he joking? or just plain mental.
