    Hi all,


    I have no idea what this might be it is inside the interior wall around the window I have attached a picture. Should I be worried?

    Not at all its expanded metal sheet, it holds the plaster together while bridging gaps .
    Comes in 100mm rolls to 600mm sheets
    It could off been used also as a strap to hold the window in place before plastering

    :D I was hoping it was not asbestos for example. House is of that era when builders were putting it everywhere.

    Thanks I removed a wall plug and ended up making a hole 10 times the size of the wall plug. :(
