A colleague of mine has received a few quotes for re-plastering his house..all roughly about the same.
Some of the plasterers have recommended plastering directly over the existing plasterboard, whilst others have recommended removing the old board entirely.
Its an old house and the concerns of the plasterers wanting to go over the top is perhaps there may be underlying structure problems eg walls not straight etc.. that may make plastering more of a challenge. Or they may just be being lazy.
Can anyone offer advice on the better of the two options?
Thanks
