Was just with the slopey... don’t know if it was cladding or tiles on the front it was dark, I wasn’t sure if it might be timber with big gaps or something!

Are they sash windows?If not you should be ok.

 

[JessThePlasterer]

So going back to the boarding the reveals and then the wall, I reckon I’ll find the highest point and bring the reveals out to that...

It’s wood up to a dowling

Mesh. Bond n bead. Skim

 

[hollybank]

If you find the brickwork is too far past the window frame cut the bricwork back to accept the board.

Rip the wooden reveals off and board them out with 12.5 or 9.5 board then and fully dab them so there is a better chance of getting them levelish or straightish with the window.

Clean the timber off, sand and repaint. Heritage reveals they are!

Really? Sounds mithersome. I’m def not stripping the wood of the gloss..... although that would give me an opportunity to play with skimming up to dowling like @paulf was saying in another thread hmmmmmm. Not done that before prob make a pigs ear of it...

Do it right........you’ll thank me later. Clean them back, skim to the front of the dowel and it will look a peach. It’s the right way.

So would you skim out from the dowel rather than into the dowel?

I usually use an undercoat plaster bring it out to the level of the bead then leave it to take up until it nearly hard to the touch. Then measure back a couple of millimetres mark a line then cut back the plaster at a slight angle and then skim it. Clean the bead down at the end.
