Ask a questionPlastering & Rendering
Order of works (plasterer, electrician & plumbing) & type of plastering to use?
Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.35 PM
Hello! We're in the process of completely renovating our property. We're redoing the electricity wiring and plumbing for the whole house, as well as re-plastering everywhere - but firstly, we're concentrating on the basement we can live in the basement whilst we're renovating the rest of the house. We have hacked off all the paster in the basement, back to the stone and lime mortar (it’s an old 1890’s victorian house). My question is; what order do we then start to put everything back? Does the plasterer come and do the plasterboard first, and then the electrician/plumber come and do the first fix - or can the electrician/plumber put their stuff on the exposed stone, and the plasterer work around their stuff? And also - what kind of plastering would you folks recommend for us to use in the basement like this? As iI mentioned, it’s an old 1890’s house, with stone and lime mortar. Would you recommend that we fix batons to the wall, and put up plasterboard, or do dry lining straight onto the masonry wall? Thanks!
