I've ripped out a hideous 30s fireplace and have a hole in the wall that I'd like to keep. I'm thinking of either just lining it inside with plasterbaord held o with plaster adhesive OR to build a wooden frame inside it and then screw the plasterboard into this. Which do you folks recommend? I realise that just gluing hte board is easier, but unsure I'll be able to get it all level and flush
Lining old fireplace gap...

We've cut & installed tightly fitting plywood sections (no glue or nails/screws required) then painted matt black..Looks a treat with a nice iron grate an a 'green man' plaque at the rear! Id post a pic but weve also installed a brass fireguard (screwed to the wall 
) so the camera cant/wont focus beyond this !
