How to level a rendered brick wall?

Hi all, as part of my reno from the other post, I've got a separate question from it.

 

I was hoping if you could help me out on what to use to "level" the wall finishing of the laundry please. Attached picture as below:

I would defnitely do it after the plumbing has been moved to required location.

 

Thank you all.

Re: Laundry wall finishing

Hello @atmatic 

 

Is the wall constructed with concrete or plasterboard? If it's plasterboard, consider using some leftover plasterboard panels to fill the larger gap. The board filler will need to be modified so that it lines up with the wall. 

 

If it is concrete, I suggest using Dingo Fast Set Mortar. Please keep in mind that this is fast setting, and you have a limited amount of time to handle and flatten it. 

 

For the smaller gaps and damage, I recommend using Parfix 500g Ready To Use Multipurpose Filler. Ensure that all areas to be filled are clean and free of debris. Your goal is to apply the filler to match the wall's height, eliminating the need for extensive sanding and saving time. Once the wall is nice and flat you can then paint or tile over it.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Re: Laundry wall finishing

Hi @atmatic 

 

If it is a brick wall, odds are it was probably rendered awhile back. You'll need to use the Mortar to fill the gap in between. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.
