I have just removed the reveal above my back door which was made of two pieces of plywood and looked awful because it didn't match the adjoining plasterwork.
Here is a picture of what remains:-
As you will see, there is a steel lintel above the ceiling and vertical bricks below it in the outer skin, but no inner skin.
What is the usual way of finishing on the inside?
My best idea at present is to make a framework of 2 x 2, add a couple of layers of plasterboard and then skim to make good.
Will I have any problems with the cavity? Has anybody got a better idea?
I am planning to replace the door and frame in any case.
