You think hardwall and skim is bad? Couldn be as bad as s&c, then battens , boarded and skimmed. The way the op describes it. Won't be surprised if the ground floor externals is done with hardwall and skim

 

[algeeman]

Haha

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party, knock it back to brick and just get prebagged gear like @Bauwer , I'm sure he can advise you on their products and can recommend someone local to you maybe to do the job. Their gear seems well priced compared to competitors and good feedback from those who used it.

Definitely not cavity mate it's a 9inch brick wall

Zolco nothing is reasably priced ....£48 a bag of dri coat.
Id rather sit in a room with damp walls !!!!

 

[Pagey]

Long and short of it is if internal you need a full hack off and re done I would go hardwall and skim after the hack off if external it's still a full hack off and then re done hack off yourself it will save a few quid but won't be cheap sorry a few of us seem to of got wires crossed

Where they selling it for that sort of stupid money? TP was £15+vat last time I think

 

[Pagey]

The plasterers said take back to brick in external facing walls sand and cement then skim and batten and board internal was so have gone with what they said just hope it works on the 2 rooms they have just done

Why would you hack off render then batten and board then skim seems excessive if you ask me it extra work that don't need doing

Gis a minute mate il check my phone.....i nearly paid it ..until i realised ive got a ton of sand left over !!

Thing is with a house that is nearly 100 years old you will get cracks ect it's more a paranoid thing and the more you look the more you find if don't wanna hack off maybe a grit full mesh and reskim can't bank on a few coming back but if for cosmetic reasons that's what I would advise although would stress the risk or reward of doing that way if it's a full hack off and redo don't expect a cheap quote if you get a proper plasterer in, I know I wouldn't be cheap

Yeah but your southern mate .. Dirt cheap us northern plaster masters

I given up using them, only in emergency. It's always stocked in Wandsworth tp not like if that would be on your doorstep. And tell you what, even dulux can order it in for you if you pushy enough
