I have just finished getting my plasterer to infill a doorway into my living room with blocks and then had it rendered. Previously I had studwork and boards in the infill but there was some cracking so decided to infill with blocks and replaster.
However the living room has lining paper (which seems to be in good condition) on all the walls and is painted. My plasterer has removed some of the lining paper around the door infill when he removed the old plasterboard, which means there is an area between the old lining paper and my new rendered wall with no lining paper (approximately 200mm wide on either side of the infill).
My plasterer recommends putting a thin layer of polyfiller to remove the difference in thickness before I try repainting the wall
Is this correct?
