As I walk up my stairs, the wall on the left is an external one that is always in the shade.
The plaster was shot and mold kept returning due to the constant cold.
After removing the old plaster, I found that the cement between the bricks was 99% sand and so I have removed it all and repointed the bricks. None of the bricks were laid level and they go in/out by 20mm in places.
I have plastered before, but this is a very large area in a narrow space with a height that requires a platform of some sort.
My idea was to use shallow wood studwork instead (ideally 15mm thick) with 12mm plasterboard. This way it will meet the edge of the stairs at the correct distance of the old plaster/render. I guess I'd also have to use plastic packing behind the studwork to correct the wonky brickwork.
I've never seen thin wood studwork used like this before, so would like to know if it could be done? Is there any metal C stud 15mm thick? If it can be done, is there a type of plasterboard best used to stop mold returning?
Any advice will be much appreciated

Amazing you can get away with that, larger ladies tend to land heavily at a sort of glide angle - always breaking the lousy plastic lid mountings. I don't want to think what about what woulod happen if the pan tips over as they land!
