hi this single brick wall don't attach any thing directly to the wall build a stud wall in front of , with a small gap , in other words don't let the timbers touch and pack off , fix polythene on top for a vapour barrier , then plaster board you don't have to plaster if the wall is going to be hidden be hide units , size of timbers you could get away with 2x2 . all the best Mick

Hi, Taping and filling joints will be ok but if you can I would get it plastered as this will make your wall harder wearing and the finish is far better. Stuart Aitken Get it plastered ltd
