Help Preparing Around This Window For Plastering

[HugeWesty]

Hi, Ive got a plastering moving around my house and he'll be doing the kitchen on Tuesday. I've been spending my time removing tiles and stripping other things off the wall etc.

When removing the tiles around the window, its left a bit of a mess. How would you go about preparing this window area ready for plastering? There are strings of silicone and bits of tile lodged down the sides of the window... I imagine I'll need to get these out best I can and make the ledge as even as possible??

Am I missing anything else? Thanks in advance.

I would also fill in the gaps in the window frame to prevent drafts

What kind of plastering is he doing?

He's bonding in other places e.g. Electrical chases and then skimming throughout my whole house.
