Plastering onto breeze blocks

[solway]

Hi all,if hardwalling onto breeze blocks would a primer be required first to control suction.Would hardwall be the best product to use.Im hoping builder goes for plasterboard compound and plasterboard.

Looked at a retro fit job today for a builder and all the internal walls are breeze blocks from the 80's.Any walls the sparkys made new chasings in caused the original plaster to go all hollow.The plaster that was used I have never seen before.Its snow white(really chalky and lightweight) with a skim finish on top.After the sparkys kangoing the walls are just holding themselves up.You can actually see the separation from the blocks,its ready to fall off with a light tug and this is all over the house.Any idea what the backround plaster is.I took a bit home to show my old man and he hasn't a clue(50 years in the game)

And the sparky just carries on regardless when it seems that a bit of effort with a decent stanley blade would have carved through that lot.

The builder should have called a halt to the work as soon as this problem raised its head.

I'm proper ******* puzzled here. So your old man was in the game for 50 years and you've followed him into the trade and yet here you are asking complete strangers (some stranger than others) how to tackle 'breeze blocks'. Proper puzzled me.

It sounds like the old thistle renovating plaster from years ago

Browning was normally used on breeze blocks as I recall.

HSB (high suction browning)

Just use water, but near the electrics used dry water, its safer.
