Not sure the title says it all but I am looking to fit a door frame and stud wall to make a cupboard and box in / hide a central heating boiler. The "cupboard" is in the corner of a room, the recess formed by a chimney breast one side, on the other side is an existing wall. (hope that makes sense?)
Obviously I would be looking to have the stud wall finish flush with the chimney breast and give the chimney breast and stud wall a new coat of skimming to make good.
Just wondering how to do this! How far to set back the stud wall from the existing finish of the chimney breast? Would you advise that the stud wall have a thin coat of bonding (or something) underneath the final skim. Or should I allow 3mm to bring the stud wall finish level with the finish existing finish of the chimney breast, tape the join, then skim all with final coat.
Just conscious if I don't do this right I might end up with a crack where the join is or look as though it has been bodged!
Happy to clarify any points if it doesn't make sense.
Many thanks
