Underside of lintel on fire place

[Deleted member 40920]

What do you guys do when you've got a chimney breast to plaster. The renders come off around the opening so I've patched in with hardwall but the lintel always a b*****d do you bead it with render beads and skim the underside too? It's only decorative no log burner going in
