Exactly what I was thinking. If I did affix plasterboard over all the studwork could I then dot and dab to the brick and plasterboard?
Stud framework, how would you approach this

Nah, screw through to the studs
Nice one cheers! Will post results when done
All done, just need to move door lining out and rehang door etc.. Was a bit of a pain to do for a first time boarder. Also plaster had reached expiry date so was going off quicker. Had to cut a section out of the middle board where the brick pillars is supporting the lower lintel to make sure the board was level, bonded onto the brick and taped the joints, then skimmed the lot.
With regards to the door lining, I presume the stripwood can be thinner as I cant find 19mm. The architrave will be covering it anyway.
Yeah whatever you can find that brings it around the level of the plaster. If it goes further out you can caulk the back of the architrave.
Did you skim it?
Did you skim it?
Excellent thanks! Yeah I skimmed it, the edges are as bad as the picture would make out! Made second coat too sloppy hence more of it being on the floor lol!
Quick question, with regards to extending the door lining out would it not be easier to just get a new one? I couldn't find a bit of strip wood suitable for my needs at the time so I bought a 100mm width x 19mm so I could cut it into strips. Just got a feeling after all the cutting then filling where the existing hinge cut outs are I may aswell just replace it??

even plasterers get it on the floor. main thing is you 2 coated it. looks a decent job. If I may offer a tip .next time tidy the edges up between 1st and 2nd coat with a wet 2” brush.

you should really have changed the liner before skimming if that was the route you were going to take or added your extra trim before skimming and skim up to it.
I'm not usually that bad with dropping it but this was way too wet, yeah did brush the edges in between coats always do that. Will take a few more pics so you can see. Not the best job I done but the plaster didn't feel right, probably had the bag too long. Appreciate the feedback.
Yeah I wasnt exactly sure of the depth, plus I guess the moisture would affect the new wood frame with plaster going off.
Turns out my wall is level but the frame, the bubble is on the line!
