Hello all

I’ve put a stud wall in and cut the plasterboard around a handful of pipes but don’t know how best to finish it around them.

Rockwool that I’ve put between the inside and outside plasterboard can be seen at the top. The red pipes are (I think) both cold, and the two copper pipes are one hot one cold.
Woodwork above, black concrete column to the right.

Any help much appreciated

Top of the board should have been closer to the beam to hide the rockwool.

With the small gaps a flexible filler may work well.

The top gap I'd be tempted to cut a bit of plaster board and use grip fill to stick it in place and then finish with flexible filler

It could have been trimmed much nicer you don't have to do square cuts, I'd have allowed extra wastage to allow a clean close fit around the pipes to minimise the use of fillers

Thanks for the reply. I would have liked to have cut it closer but I find it so fiddly cutting large pieces and nothing in this house is straight so by the time I’d cut it and got it not quite right the first time, those little bits round the pipes would have all snapped off trying to get it in anyway!!!

good idea to cut a small piece now. What’s best to use to fill up to the pipes (especially the hot one)?
