Hi eveyone, I wonder if you can help me. having been priced silly prices from builders to replaster my room I have decided to to most of the work myself except the actual plastering.
So far I have stripped the walls, removed the skirting board and hacked off the plaster back to the bare laths on the internal walls. The laths are pretty old.
I have left the laths in tact before I just claify what I should do next. Am I right in thinking I should remove the laths and then put up plasterboards nailed to the vertical studs?
Also how far down the walls should the boards go?
Apprciate any advice and maybe a step by step cheklist would be REALLY healpful.
