Cassette Multifuel Stove Flaking Plaster

oooooozy · 13 Oct 2015

Hi, am after some advice Please!

I recently had a multifuel cassette stove 5kw fitted in my lounge with standard plaster. The plaster has now started to flake and crack approx 4mm max in places around the top and sides. The plaster was washed coated and allowed to dry out for several months before the fire was lit.

Q: Do i leave this until all the loose plaster continues to crack so i can treat affected areas? If so should i remove a bit more of the plaster before filling round to ensure this doesn’t happen again?

Q: As this is presently a very small area to fill would a Fire Cement such as the one from Screwfix be a good idea?

Many Thanks in advance

regular skim cannot stand such high heats ideally a render should have been applied before the stove was installed

Thanks Colzey.
Am going to try Fire Retardant Silicone round all the small areas first.

Sounds like a bad idea but without a pic its almost impossible to advise you - it is for me anyway.

Maybe, dont do anything but watch and wait to see how it gets on over the winter? The hairline cracks could be more of a long term concern because they are not in actual contact with the metal.

Perhaps a dab of touching up paint to make it respectable?
