Hi All,
planning a kitchen extension in semi detached house. The side wall will be extended with new cavity walls (30cm thick), but the current side wall is solid twin brick wall (22cm or so). A chimney hearth was previously removed, leaving a recessed opening. That was plyboarded up. The rest of the plaster was stripped off and dry lined. Once the extension is done, there will be a 7-8cm difference in depth. So is it OK to add new studwork on top of the dry lining, or is it best to remove the it and put studwork direct onto the original brickwork ? The boiler will be relocated to this part of the wall as well as kitchen units.
Thanks in advance
