Hi,
Previous owner had their TV wall mounted above the fire-place, with two holes and trunks for cables down to power and other appliances.
It looks from the paint work as though sections of the wall were cut into to insert the trunking and then plastered back up.
The holes are quite long, probably about 1m in length down to 50cm off the floor, and about 6-7cm in diameter.
What do you recommend for filling and plastering these up. Will I need to remove the sections across the top of the fire place, fill the whole thing with a mortar mix and re-plaster?
Seems like a big job for just removing a TV!
Would it be a bad idea to just fill the ends and finish with filler? Of course, I might just stick a mirror or something over them anyway - there's no external entry/exit anywhere in these.
Thanks everyone,
Andy.
