Combining 2 sections of wall

[padstar]

Hi. I have a section of wall that I need to skim now but the wall will be extended at a later date to tie in with the rest of the hallway. How do I deal with this? Was thinking of skimming up to a stop bead now then when the rest of the wall is there skimming up to the other side of the stop bead. If it is visible I can tape over and feather out the joint.

Is this the best way to do it or is there another? I know it would be best to wait and skim th entire wall in one hit but this isn't an option

you could use a stop bead. no tape required.

Thanks so you reckon just plaster to the stop bead now then up to the other side at a later date?

With a few coats of paint you will probably not notice the bead afterwards.

yes. bond the bead to the wall with gripfill .

Nice one. I will do this tomorrow

don’t set the bead at the wall edge.
set it back a few inches so you can tie in and tape the join later.

Thanks Benny. Did as you said and it has come out a treat and looks like the balance of the wall will tie in nicely.

Cheers.
