Hi guys,
We had some work done recently in the kitchen (we were on holiday at the time). All along one wall in the kitchen the builder has used boards over the existing wall because of the quality of the plaster. We haven't started any plaster work yet as we're not ready for that, but we did have walls taken down / boiler installed etc.
Is it standard to board over poor quality existing plaster or would you guys recommend taking the walls back to the brick first? The ceilings are also old L&P which they said would be better boarded over and less messy - but again, is that an easier option or the better one? Thanks in advance for your advice, would like to make sure we get the job done the best way possible.
Cheers!
