Rendering and Plastering During Winter

[shammyk]

I have recently started the renovation of my new house, it’s a 4 storey, 5 bedroom house, built in the 1890’s. I have removed all the plaster and had the chimneys removed so I am left with bare bricks. I am planning to render the walls and then plaster finish as I don’t like plasterboards. I have been told by a friend that I shouldn’t render and plaster the walls till late March early April depending on how harsh a winter we have as the cold weather will lead to the plaster not drying out.

I am unsure of this and would appreciate any input

Thank you for your time

It'll be a very cold house if you do it that way.

The plaster will dry no matter the month of the year!

If no frost is in render when is is setting, then you could argue that the longer it takes to dry the better !!

Get the work done ASAP and move on with your house
