I have a Stud partition which I need to 'finish off', i.e. clad and paint.
My question is: Do I need to put up plasterboard, have a plasterer apply a skim, and paint over that? Is there a simpler / quicker way that I can do my self? i.e. can I get away with just painting the plaster board direct, and if so do I need a special type of plasterboard?
The finish I want to achieve in the end is for it to look and feel the same as the other (plaster on top of brick) walls.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks
Alasdair
