Hi there,
Our 1920's house has a 20' x 8' lean-to attached to it, (for want of a better description), that we use as a utility room and has a small bathroom in. It has a proper slate roof and the walls are standardish 9" thick. The issue is, it has no damp proof course, and whilst it doesn't suffer badly with damp at all, I am now set to redecorate and would like to do the job 'properly'.
The plaster will come off anyway, as it's old and not that good, and i have been looking at using something like 'Dryzone' which seems well recommended, and easy enough to do. However, then I was planning on attaching plaster board with the bonding agent, (Dab and stick or whatever the term is!) The Dryzone website mentions using an additive to a plaster mix if you plaster staraight on the wall, but can I get away with this dab and sticking the board?
OR, can I just appy 3 coats of the brush on bitumin/rubber type stuff and then plasterboard straight on to that. Would that be the cheapest way?
As you can tell, I need some good advice please!
