Hi All - new to this forum,
We’ve removed a fireplace in a house we’ve just bought and want to make good around the exposed breeze blocks we’ve uncovered. Seeing as it’s a small area, seems a bit minor to get someone in, and I back myself to do an okay job.
Annoyingly the breeze block is mostly flush with the plaster but actually protrudes in front of the plaster at some points.
I was planning on chiselling back some of the breeze block (depth tbc), put a bonding coat and then plaster coat. Finish doesn’t have to be perfect as will be using lining paper.
Does this plan sound ok for a novice? Any advice appreciated!
TIA,
Harry
