I'm thinking of tackling the internal side of a rubble filled wall that's approximately 6m x 2.4m



I have 4 questions that I'd like to ask which are holding me back from making a start on the project, Thank you in advance.

1, Can a total novice to lime get a good finished result ?

( I have plastered on to plasterboard in the past to a reasonable standard)

2, Would i be best using timber battens, spaced, say 4 feet wide to aid levelling and obviously reduce the relative magnitude of the job ? (Would I leave the battens in or do you remove in an alternate order, ie finish 2 non adjoining sections ( 1 & 3 ) then fill in even number (2)section ? )

3, Is wood wool a good insulator in this case and has anybody any experience of using it on this style of wall ?

4, Other than the wood wool, what materials should I be purchase, Ie What type of lime etc.

Thanks for reading.

Yes ! When I have used this method I have done the whole wall and then removed the battens and 'repaired' the gaps left by the battens]]>
