Tiling a lime plaster room

[Stuart Thompson]

Hi everyone

At some point in the future we'll be renovating two bathrooms in our 1850 clay lump house.

Having been here for a few months it's clear the previous owners didn't care about letting the house breath.

My question is without doubt we'll have repair work of the plaster once I've removed the tiles they have used but I'll need to protect the walls at the wet areas with a tile. So how do I tile a lime plaster wall?

Can I fix a false wall with vents and tile that?

Anyone been in the same situation?

Any help would be great

Thanks
