Remove any old mortar and any remnants of masonry that are proud beyond the original wall.How do you make good there?
Remove any old mortar and any remnants of masonry that are proud beyond the original wall.
Patch up the deep bits with bonding coat, PVA (or blugrit) then skim up. A lot will depend upon which is the proudest plaster finish and how you deal with that window reveal regards having to feather-in.
Excellent. Careful you don't lose too much gear down the cavity (?).On the external wall there are few holes left from the blockwork I removed. My idea is to fill in with some half brick and mortar as this is the same place where the new stud wall be screwed in.
Do I have to plaster the wall or can just stick the first stud directly to the brick face?
The annoying thing about regularised timber is the loss in thickness. In the olden days, rough sawn timber was nigh on 4" so the door casings reflected that. Now they are a lot less but the casings are still the same. Just lay on more plaster.I was also checking the overrall wall build up with a 95 stud and 12.5+.12,5 board with a total of 120mm. Where I will have tiles would be fine considering the door frame is 133mm width. But what about on the other room where I will only have 120mm? The frame will be 13mm wider? How you usually deal with that considering the door frame are standard size.

No need to plaster, no. As long as you have enough meat left on the upright to fix the boards to.
