On our new "Old" house the pre-victorian bathroom-extension type thing is having a much needed new toilet/sink etc.
Anyway. the construction of this area is a single-skin red brick with a red-mud type mortar. The original plaster literally dropped off all round so we need to replace the covering.
Space is very limited, so not enough space to batton/membrane/p.board
Should we be looking at just re-skimming the brick-work with conventional materials or could we get away with foil-backed p.board dot&dabbed to the block work?
there is no sign of any damp penetration as it stands.
The building _is_ grade II listed, but this is an emergency reovation as original (60's) bath,sink,toilet were all cracked. Plaster that fell off was not lime & hair like the rest of the property, just pink & powdery.
Any thoughts welcome
Pete.
