No plaster behind kitchen units

[seethrubabyblue]

Hi

I'm replacing my kitchen and am considering stripping the walls where kitchen units will be fitted, so there will be no plaster behind the units, just bare blockwork. The reason is to "steal" a little extra space: the kitchen is small.

Would this do any harm? They are concrete block cavity walls, built in 1968.

Many Thanks

Providing you have no existing damp issues, you should be fine to leave block work bare.

I'd give it a good clean off though to remove any dust etc.
