I looked at a job yesterday for my mate. Its a flat 11 stories high. I have been asked to remove an electric fire and its surrounding wooden frame. A guy has already came and removed the actual fire( 2 bar heater) and made safe the cables. Now...
Behind the aluminium sheet is about 50mm of concrete where the fire lived. I have been asked to hack off the concrete back to the wall. (area is about 1.2m x 1m). Probably be brick or block. On the other side of the wall is the neighbours flat.
Thing is .. Should I hack it off, hardwall/bonding (depending on background) and skim the area and feathering into the existing wall. 1.2m x 1m is not really a patch. I suggested skimming the whole wall after the backing plaster which is currently painted and the wall is about 4m long by 2.4m high.
What is best approach...
Thanks
