My house is a traditional 1940's 3 bed-semi, with a "lean-to/utility" on the
side.

Want to decorate this "lean-to" and change it from being just a brick
outhouse to a nice utility room. I've already made a false floor to raise
it level with the kitchen / front & back doors, now I looking to cover the
brick walls.

I thought of plasterboarding the whole utility room but I think it will cost
alot to have the whole room skimmed by a plasterer.

You dont have to, you can just use jointing plaster to fill the
joints, do it yourself.
