    Hi,
    I am renovating a room and want to plaster and pain walls.

    When removing wallpaper I found polystyrene sheets underneath it.
    Around the PVC windows I found this 'band' of newspaper backfilled stuff (not sure what it is. Which was flush with the polystyrene layer..
    Now that I removed it - this stuff sticks out about 2 cm... and for me to plaster and paint I need replace that with something that is flush with the existing old plaster.

    See attached (cam phone) photo...

    How do you fill those gaps between the brickwork and window properly? This newspaper backfilled job makes me wonder...

    TIA

    You could always use a sheet of plasterboard and glue it to the existing plaster so that it covers the opening and the inside edge of the reveal, tehn make good the outside edge with polyfilla.

    doh - I hadn't even thought of that... probably not the right way of doing it, but it will do the job I guess.

    Any takers on how that should be filled professionally - short of calling a 'professional'?
