Plaster behind kitchen units
Jun 7^th, 2017, 2:41pm

Hello All,

I will be installing warmboard slabs and then fixing the kitchen units to this wall. The original idea was that the splashback area would be all tiled so I was going to tile straight to the slab but now we don't want tiles but a plaster finish for the splashback, so do you just skim the splashback area after kitchen units installed or should you skim the full wall before installing the kitchen units.

Thanks for any advice.
