I think you and @Nige F above may well be correct It may actually be reed reinforced and it is horizontal as well. It would be handy to find out the trade name

No it's an internal partition From box bedroom to stairs. It's the but that incorporates the stairs box from the sloping section of the stairs. I've drilled through it and it's just the same all the way through

Be some wall if it was!! I haven't a clue and nobody else seems to have either. Behind a plasterer you get t see all sorts of odd wall makeups. But I've never come across one like this and done a lot of work on houses around that age as well Round here we see a lot of stramit and paramount...

It's funny you mention that My mate who's a builder said same thing Although it's wrong colour and different makeup. Can't get my head around it because it's just a solid block of like pure gypsum or lime

Im currentlt In the process of renovating a new house and one of the things that I am intending to do is the loft. Now I know the regs regards head height etc for the new stairs going up into the loft which is fine I can just about manage to fit the stairs and gain the height needed where I...

Yup it's got the grey one in! I've noticed the part directly behind it id a bit damp Is that a seperate part that will need changing or will it come as 1 unit?
