Plastering over internal painted bricks

[Tofty1]

Ay up lads I've just been look at a job and the customer wants a couple of walls plastering problem is that the walls are brick and painted it looks like it's just emulsion over the brick work could I just use that thistle bonding pva stuff with grit in then float out with a thistle bonding then multi finish.there is no cavity in the brickwork it's just single layer of brick will that make a difference

 

[keithuk]

how old is the wall ,could show damp with single skin and bonding:RpS_unsure:

 

[boardfinished]

just skim it

 

[keithuk]

:RpS_confused:

Dab it, stick boards on with silicone, I take it brick work is good cus it been left painted.

 

[Tofty1]

It's an old council house solid brick an there r no signs of damp and the paint looks like its in good condition and has a good key to the brick work

Could you not dot and dab it then mate

 

[raytheplasterer]

there's a few ways you could do it tbh,

 

[JohnDoe]

I take its only a small area like out house or porch? Dab it stick board on with silicone.

 

[raytheplasterer]

give it a coat of sbr and give it a rough coat of sand/cement

I'd doubt they'd bee enough money on job to be going to these lengths......

 

[raytheplasterer]

sand/cement is cheaper than bonding??:RpS_biggrin:

Batten and board it out. Insulation between battens.

Your bonding method is sound thought.

 

[Tofty1]

It's a very small toilet that looks like it used to be an out house an another room that has boiler in and that's the only wall in that room that needs doin all the others Are plastered

 

[bubbles65]

Batten and board, with a vapour barrier.
The dabs are likely to show on a single skinned wall (if they don't fall off first) :RpS_thumbup:

 

[Tofty1]

Could do but a lot of pipes in 1 room hard to describe lots of obstacles an boiler is right against window should of taken picture really think it will be easier to bond but don't want to plaster it then it fall off fan look a **** lol

I agree that dot and dab would be one way .Just use a scutch hammer to make a key where you put your dabs. You could also use any pre grit like thistle bond it etc to get a key. use either bonding or hardwall and skim over. You could if you really wanted float and set these walls.For your key I would mix an sbr and cement slurry to paint on the bricks. wait till tacky then apply your s&c .Hope this is of help

 

[Tofty1]

Cheers for ure help lads :RpS_thumbsup: Don't wanna sound to thick but what is sbr & s&c lol

[church]

Dont use bonding on single skin brickwork :RpS_scared:

 

[User___removed]

If you want to do it the best way I would battern off then board.ask if they want insulation between

 

[raytheplasterer]

Someones asked me about their cellar they want rendered with a bit of waterproofer and has painted bricks. any ideas on the best thing to use to wash the bricks/paint down? it's kind of gloss paint so ideally want to use something to take the shine off the paint. ?? cheers.
