Hi all,

In the process of ripping out my old kitchen splashback tiles, I found out the house builders had botched the interior breeze block wall. Firstly it wasnt built upto the right height and then they stacked it with two layers of plasterboard sandwiched together with dot & dab to raise the height. In the process of removing the tiles, the two other layers of plasterboard came away and so did the breeze block layer that was made of half height blocks. I'm now in need of advice in terms of how I should bring it back up to the right level so I can plasterboard it to the have a granite splashback attached to it. The old sealant line is where I want the granite to level up with and I'm ok to do the plasterboard bits but not sure what material I should use to replace the layer that came off

On the sides use plasterboard and plasterboard adhesive.
On the sill side, remove the blocks that are loose and replace.
Breeze blocks are very easy to cut by hand to exact size.
Use a hand saw (£7).
 
I PVA blocks and use a bag of ready mixed sand and cement mix from DIY. Just add water.

Pva on blocks makes it easy as to lay.
