Hi,
I’ve just purchased a 1930s ground floor flat.
It’s my first real diy project. I have been doing ok so far, stripping it out.
I’ve decided to replace the door frames because they are old and have lead paint on them.
When I pulled the frames out, it has caused a bit of damage to the walls.
I would like some advice on what I would need to do to repair it.
I’m happy to do the work myself, unless it will be too big of a job, then I will get a professional.
Will I be able to just patch up the damage with plaster? If so, what type of plaster would I need?
Would the damaged area then be strong enough to hold another frame once it is installed?
Please provide any help or advice or tips. It will be greatly appreciated.
I have attached some photos.
Thanks,
Michael
