Hello all,
I have an attic room, some of the walls are sound, some move when you press them and some bits have crumbled completely. When we pulled all of the wall and ceiling paper off and big patch of wall came off with it. the house is 1901, is it lathe and plaster when there is lots of thin strips of wood behind it? Any way i am looking to have an en-suite put up there do i firstly get it all ripped down, ceiling and all and start again before someone starts building an en-suite. Can it all be re boarded on top of the wobbly plaster. (i would like an extra layer of insulation anyway) or do i get someone to build the en-suite then get it all done?
your advice would really help, thank you
