Evening all,
I am currently redoing my kitchen in my 1970's bungalow and have just removed the wall separating my kitchen and dining room for an open plan space.
A few pics from before:
And a few from after:
I wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction for how I now tidy up what is left. I will be booking in a plasterer for the ceiling so not sure what I should expect him to do and what to do myself to minimise costs.
1) This corner leading to the back door needs to be made to a nice corner.
Is there a standard method to this? Any products I would need to get a tidy finish?
2) The plasterboard ceiling.
I was hoping to remove the wall without damaging the plaster either side, partly due to possible asbestos and also to keep a neat edge to allow me to add a run of cut plaster board easily. Unfortunately part of the edge has been slightly damaged when removing the wall. Is this fixable or will the rest of the board need to be replaced?
3) For the gap left by removing the wall.
Is this something usually the ceiling plasterer will do or is it worth doing myself and just have him do the ceiling? What product is usually used due to the depth? Easy to apply?
Any help much appreciated.
