Hi All,
I've ripped out our old kitchen as part of dealing with some flooring issues. We're approaching the end of the flooring work and my attention is now turning to how best to rectify the walls.
The missus wants the walls painted and kitchen units with quartz work tops. This all requires plumb flat walls to start with.
The above are the worst 2 walls.
Now I'm sure a plasterer will take my money and skim the lot but is that the best way to proceed? I don't know so I'm here for some advice.
We have solid walls (1934 semi-detached) and some sites have warned against the use of gypsum on such surfaces but battening out or dot-and-dab plasterboard would cause headaches around the door frames.
Should I hack off all the existing surface (being careful around the electrical cables) and:-
I'd appreciate the benefit of your collective experience?
Cheers

- Dot and dab to the bricks followed by a skim?
- Sand and cement to the brick followed by a skim?
- Bonding plaster on the brick followed by a skim?
I'd appreciate the benefit of your collective experience?
