Level a uneven wall prior trav? - TilersForums.com

[2020Tiling]

Hi , Ive a trav job tomorrow , walls are skimmed but out buy 2 inches inches in some parts so need to prep & level it before I fit the trav. Would it be ok to bond over the 2 inch dips then skim over before tiling? or would 1 coat plaster from wickes be ok?

Brick walls I assume ?

I know pushing weight limits is done but what you have there and propose to do is a tad scary .. lol ..

Can said walls not be dry lined..?

Yeah brick wall mate!

Not sure dave, do you recommend dot & dab cement board or lat fixed? It would be great to skim over with 1 coat but not sure this the best option. It's a solid brick room , just a tad out of level

As Dave said, dry linning would be the best option....

Wall needs taking back IMO big no no!
Back to brick, at least where the dots will go

Edit: didn't see other posts so yes, as above ;-)

Agreed, take back to brick where the dabs go & board out. Trav is frequently around 30kgs per sq mtr.
