Hi Guys,
We recently bought a house that had been decorated before we moved in. One of the bedrooms quickly started showing cracks which after some scraping out have left large holes as per pics attached. Initially I just followed the cracks but the rest crumbled out. There was a clear hollow sound when knocking around the area too.
Firstly, do you think this is due to skimming over old plaster that's clearly past it's best and secondly, what's the best solution? I've looked at Gyproc Easifill 60 but I'm wondering if this is too large for that and if I need something else? The process I was going to follow was to PVA the areas first, fill in layers, sand then repaint - does that sound about right?
