How to plaster/repairs above window with artex

[sean oc]

Hey

Some movement above a window from ages ago! Going to refresh the landing either paint so was going to tidy this up

Am I best giving it a light sand? Then pva? Then just grabbing a small tub of ready mixed plaster to tidy it up.

Thanks

Dont sand anything - Pva the patch and then fill with your repair plaster over a tacky coat of PVa.

There has been, historic you say, movement of the lintel - various cracks can be seen.
