Plastering & Rendering

Plastering Single skin block shed

Anonymous user 05/03/2024 - 2.30 PM

Hi, I’m looking at getting the inside of my single skin block shed plastered (the block is painted on the inside and has previous sand/cement render on outside with a silicone render system on top) What’s the best way of getting this done? Plaster straight on, render coat first, dot & dab or something else? Thanks :)

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi I would get your plasterer to clean off paint using a grinder with a wire wheel attachment giving a good key then apply link below then you can render & skim don't use bonding coat on external walls hope this helps https://www.sealantsandtoolsdirect.co.uk/sika-damp-proof-slurry-dpm-25kg-skdpslur25?language=en-gb&currency=GBP&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6ZiUr5yUhAMVu5RQBh3oVQHYEAQYASABEgKHVvD_BwE

i suppose it would probably depend on the intended usage ? however there are two ways i would suggest. either A, board the garage out and skim or B, simply skim on existing. if just skimming i would suggest a good couple of coats of pva first for adhesion. if boarding & skimming theres no need for pva. Again, depending on usage, a dampcourse before plastering might be a good idea.

If it's single skin if Batton of the wall to provide a airflow to help stop damp coming in
