Hi all
I’ve just pulled out an old 1970’s fireplace and have been left with a wall down to (very rough) brickwork. I could use some advice please. Would you:-
- Plasterboard where the fireplace was and skim with plaster? (Does it matter that the brickwork is rough?)
- Plaster straight onto the brickwork?
- Do something else….
- If the answer is to plaster onto the bricks, do I need to do anything special to the bricks or use a special plaster?
- If the answer is to plasterboard, can I wallpaper straight on top (if it’s the correct depth), or must it be skimmed?
