Apologises. I took all of the old plaster off and the plasterers came in and dab and boarded and skimmed in order to get a good finish.
Ive just took a few pics and hope these help explain.
It should never have been attempted until it was clear what the strategy was. Who in their right mind would plaster something and leave it in mid-air?
You don't start a job without thinking it through.

Looking at pic #1, it also looks mighty shiny and may have been overpolished.
If you plan to paint rather than wallpaper - I'd have a look at painting a bit of it with a mist coat sooner rather thaDn later, to test how well the paint will stick.

Thanks for your reply jo but what do you mean by mid air? In your experience then Joe what should be my next move?
I'd agree, pick your proudest point, then get timber as close to 3mm wider than this as you can. (PAR) You'llneed to glue and pin this on, it is a finished item.
Get them back to put it right, don't take as excuses . As joe said above, they should not have started this at all.
( Aside to joe - just cos they were Brits, doesn't mean all Brits are chancers )
Just one last question though, why would the timber I fit be 3mm wider?

To accomodate another coat of skim.

Ok so the proudest point is say 15mm deep from the original frame. So I will need to fill with an 18mm piece of wood to the old frame and then they will skim again in order to fit flush with that?
