I am about to start removing loose plaster and dryline. Should I fix the new boards to the existing lathed wall, or remove the lathes and dob and dab directly on to the brick?
Hi Andy,
if it's a lathe wall, will timber frame behind it. I'd recommend you remove the plaster and lathe. It's a messy time consuming job especailly when it comes to pulling the nails out of the timber, but worth it in the long run gives a good sound surface to board on to and you can also insulate the inside stud work.
