Hi everyone,
This is my first post so be gentle.
I have a lean too conservatory that was built on the back and side of the house. Consequently it has 2 walls that are old external walls that are rendered and painted. (Unsure on paint type but it is shiny and was painted after conservatory was built so will be internal paint of some form) (Its very bumpy render like it has small stones in it but not as big as pebble dash) It seems pretty solidly stuck to the wall.
The other wall is exposed brick which I may keep, but may also plaster over, unsure.
I essentially want to get the bumpy rendered walls flat so that I can paint them (would have to work around 1 door and 1 window on 1 wall and 1 window on the other) and am unsure of the easiest solution.
1) Can the rendered walls be plastered directly on top after applying PVA or something similar, and would it be best to try and strip the paint somehow first?
2) Can you STICK plasterboard directly on the rendereded walls or would batterns be needed, in which case would it be easier to try and cut channels out of the rendor to attach the batterns direct to the brickwork?
Its not a massive conservatory Prob 3m by 3m so want to try and keep as much of the room as possible
There are no damp issues in the conservatory currently, but it can get cold in the winter as it has no source of heat, other than leaving the kitchen door open but then the house gets cold.
Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
David
