Plasterboarding Walls

[Alson]

Hello guys,

My walls have Wattle/Laths.

I am considering just to remove the plaster only and nail/screw plasterboard over the Wattle/Laths.

Thin skim plaster on.

I am of the opinion that, leaving the Wattle/Laths will give a more solid backing.

Thanks for any advice.

You can if you want or remove.
Fit cross timbers will make it more solid. I don't think laths add much strength.
You can also board wall with wood ply sheets then plasterboard over as this makes fitting stuff to walls easy and adds strength.

Thank you for advice. I have removed the laths.

I tried to attach file, but could not.
