This room had been neglected for some time with various inappropriate repairs. One of the walls was an internal partition and the other a stone, external wall. The internal partition had been covered in plasterboard then top coated with gypsum plaster. The stone wall was plastered with a cement-based plaster.
Plaster Removal and re-lath:
The plasterboard and cement-based plasters were removed from the walls. The internal partition wall was then lathed. Studs were added to the frame specifically for the cast iron radiators - as in some cases they were mounted onto plasterboard alone.
This room was plastered with 2 coats of hot-mixed quicklime with a lime putty topcoat.
