making good pebble dash around new french doors (help!)

[zedtechs]

Hi all,

Currently having some work down on my house, and as such I have replaced the old sliding patio door with some new french doors.

Now in doing this I have had to chisel away some of the pebble dashing to get the doors in, and now I have a good 5 inches of chiselled brickwork around the door.

Now my question is about making good of the area,i have an plasterer booked for sat but was wondering what I need to get ready beforehand i.e. do I put the first layer of mix around the door first? do I use mesh (which type and wher) etc

Also above the doors is wood, can I mesh this (what type of mesh) and pebble dash over.

Any help appreciated.

cheers

You will always see the join when you patch in your new dash!

Have you considered a smooth band around the window?

I will be painting over the pebble dashing, so it is more the shape upto the window and around it (good clean edges).
