  • In the long run (if we ever get enough money to do all the house to the right spec) would you recommend going back to original brick and insulating on the inside?

  • would you recommend

    Be wary of any of my recommendations - I'm just an amateur at this stuff.

    I've stripped one of ours back to brick and installed an insulated stud (all because of damp).

    Redoing wth lime plaster is the "best" way to do it, but it's a messy job, and not that many plasterers do lime.
    Another room isbduento be taken back to brick, but only to waiste height, as we're cupboarding it.

    Out of interest why this specific type of plaster - i.e. what kind of property does it have that others do not?
