Default Breeze block partition walls

Hello,

All the partition (non supporting) walls in my house are built of
breeze block directly onto the floorboards. In some cases not even
directly onto joists.

I am thinking of dot'n'dabbing one of these walls but I am a bit
worried about the extra weight this will give the wall.

The breeze blocks are made of that nasty black ash type stuff so light
weight blocks.

How can I determine if adding plasterboard & adhesize to these walls
will be safe?

Thanks,

Graham

It is. The extra weight's trivial compared to what even a badly
designed house can support.
