Does anyone have any good recommendations for the thin plastic sheet material that you would line a butchery room out with? Not sure what it is called. Thanks Jon
 
Perfect thanks everyone. Hadn’t considered the possibility of going straight onto the stud work so will have a think.
 
Straight to studwork is better but can be a bit echoy and reverberating if your studs are a bit uneven and you dont have decent insulation behind but works fine

Its pretty strong once well supported on the wall but won't put up with regular bashing and knocking it's only foam board so if you wheel things in and out and knock into it you'll want stainless plate on top
 
Parlour board is good but needs a solid backing like ply or osb. Watch out for some of the hollow type shower boards as the first pricket that swings at it as you lift it up Eli puncture it with his antlers than you have to strip the whole wall down to replace a middle board.
 
In Ontario in 1971 I was working at a small company that took 3ply 8x4 sheets with one side bad and we laid them out on steel tables 9x5 with the good side up then poured a measured amount of white epoxy mixture on the ply and spread it out, then a roll of fibreglass was rolled over the sheet, followed by a sheet of very thin but very strong Mylar over that which was taped down all the way around to give tension to the Mylar it was stuck to the steel table. We then used like window cleaners squeegees to work the epoxy up into the glass mat and swept all the air bubbles and excess epoxy out to the sides and left it to cure for an hour. What came out were very strong clear white 8x4 strong sheets which after trimming off the waste were for lining refrigerated truck bodies. They would take a lot of damage IMO if anyone wants to try making it. The Mylar was sold as drafting film by Ozalid.
 
Watco or resincoat do some very decent solutions for that but it is a hell of a lot more prep and faff than sticking up hygiene board over what is there
I thought it might be. The hygiene board is floppy old stuff but if stuck to osb it's not too difficult to put up. I cut it with a circular saw with just about 5mm blade sticking out.
 
We use a white double sided tile board 8x4 on disabled showers very strong al fiend out the name of it & manufacture on Monday & get back to you
