Hello, I removed a plasterboard wall to make the entrance to my kitchen more open plan and am wondering what my options are for end panels, filling the gaps etc? Thanks Nathan

Thank you. It is an option we are starting to consider based on the condition, the lead paint etc. Can the sides be tidied up without sanding?
