I have my kitchen diner to do, the brick work is a mix of stocks and clinker block, cavity construction.reasonably flat with a few boiler/ vent type holes in it, 32m square floor area 2.7m high walls... the original plaster is striped off.
In your opinions should I put sand cement as a base coat or stick board... what would you do ?

Stick boards provided the walls are fairly true. Most important thing with a kitchen is that the walls are dead straight for the worktops to follow and ideally the whole thing is square but that's not always possible.

If you do stick boards, you need longer screws for when you attach to the walls.

Cheers again jozeffo have stuck boards before .... just wondered what the modern take was on it ... will save me some time but will have to cut round all the sockets etc so not that much... will go with the boards.
Thank you again

The expensive method is to gypline the wall, screwply to the metalwork and then board over. The kitchen can then be hung off the ply. Not my preferred method because of the cost and the loss of about 2 inches of space along the wall, but always perfectly straight.

When you stick the boards to the wall, use plenty of adhesive. You can remove the back boxes where the sockets are and recess them again afterwards, just pulling the cables through when you are boarding. Any sockets behind the units can be surface mounted within the units for use with appliances.

That would be gyplyner...........

No need to ply using this method

Thank you for correcting my spelling Undo.

If you intend to hang kitchen units off the wall, you cannot rely on the metalwork being in the right place for the hanging brackets, hence the use of plywood.

Yes ply is a method to fix to but you come accross the same problems with dot and dab. ie: you have a cavity between plasterboad and the wall.....
