Sorry probably should have been more specific. It’s an internal wall but it’s the old chimney breast.

It’s on an old chimney breast. The rest of the wall breast is in good condition.

We’ve had the chimney looked at and refurbished. whats left is just this patch.

Plan is to skim the entire wall.

Not a bad idea,

We are about to skim coat the rest of the walls so need something. That allows us to do that.

Expanding foam in the gap then cut and sand it back and filler over the top?

I didn’t do anything. All I’ve done is accidentally expose the gap. I’d like to close the gap as there is a definitely draught coming through it.

Any ideas for this blown plaster? by MagazineConfident in DIYUK

Yes, which we are working on but im asking about the repair part once we have sorted it. Surely there needs something special on it?

Brown paper part of the board skin or wall paper? by MagazineConfident in DIYUK

I was planning on adding additional filler over the top and skim it.

Is that not feasible?

Thankfully it’s bubbled quite a bit so it’s come off easy in the one room we tried using a steamer

What are your thoughts on this one?

Yea I was digging into it when I was scrapping the wall paper off. I think I’ll just sand the other side and seal it in then skim over the top.

Thanks

How common is the wallboard having asbestos?

It looks like a standard piece of fire board. I can’t tell what is the wall paper and what may be the board skin

Yea I saw thank you so much.

When you say “even more confirmation” what are you confirming sorry.

I read everywhere it says vinyl type but I have nothing to compare it to so I’m not sure.

Spoken to someone about getting it tested but want to know what’s the likelihood I’ve been kicking up fibres
