Infilling a rough gap

[Tony K]

Afternoon all. I'm trying to do something with this exposed section of brickwork where an old boiler used to be. Any suggestions on how best to address the area?

whack a bit of 9mm plasterboard up with foam and then just paint it?

6mm cement (Ellis) board and bond it over with a bit of solvent free gripfill. 
 

Dust the loose crap off the area first.

Are you thinking of putting the plaster board on the exposed brickwork, or one big sheet over the whole wall?

Whole wall will be neatest

If it’s for clothing then I just stick laminate flooring to the walls and it works well / looks neat / never needs painting ever again. 👌

That seems like a lot more effort and cost than normal boarding.

Start to finish in 5 hours? £60 worth of end-of-line flooring from the local outlet, and a box of solvent free grip-fill.

 

No wet trades needed.

No drying time.

Paint-less finish.

Zero maintenance.

 

I completely disagree!
