I want to plasterboard a wall beside dot and wipe. I'm concerned as wall is spongy (lathe) and contained by poor state?
At this stage I cant find studs, a whole section of total is very spongy, if I push it with my paw it goes in almost 1cm at its worst, I can see lathe where all plaster have fallen out and a void down this. I'ts an old house and its one of the walls (external) in the roof space
Answers:
1 Remove all the plaster.
2 Remove all the lathes
3 Examine and treat using dry rot and woodworm killer/repair the joist as necessary.
4 Examine why the walls may be soft, as has be said have you any problems with the external wall or roof letting dampen in? Fix this at this stage and let the wall dry out.
5) When the wall have dried out, fit noggins (horizontal timbers at right angles to the joists, some 4 or 600 mm apart, but most importantly to allow you to butt plasterboard pieces up to each other over the noggins..
6) Use builders thesis to keep damp out, staple this to the framework
7) Screw/nail plasterboard surrounded by place.
I am no contractor, so take my advice near a grain of salt, but from what I enjoy done, I would agree with the first answer, I would not put anything over it. The first thing to do would be to split it all off and see what it lower than there. I would also want to check and see what is causing the piece to be spongy (generally a leaky roof or hole in the wall- especially if you see discoloration) and get it fixed. Then you can initiate to replaster.
as above do it right and do it once , remove the out-of-date lathe and plaster , insulate the cavity , breathable membrane , then new plaster board
The new plasterboard you fit is only going to be as strong as the existing plaster - not remarkably. Why don't you remove the old lathe and plaster and use the existing posts as framing for new plasterboard. This will also permit you see if you have any wet or dry rot trailing 'the scenes'. A much higher quality commission.
It's a messy job but as already have been suggested rip it off and start again. Rebuild incorporating insulation and DPM.
It will craft the place warmer and drier.
here is nothing gained by putting polite over bad.
You should remove all of the problem stuff and renovate from there. Source(s): done lotsa rehabbing
Dot & wipe is a method of fixing plasterboard to solid walls using board adhesive. This wall is timber stud .I'm afraid its time to get dirty because you are going to own to strip off the plaster and the lathes which will expose the timber stud framework that you can fasten your boards to using any a cordless and gyproc board screws or a hammer and galvanised clout nail.

forget it, time to rebuild the external wall
spongy wall has to go.
