Builders expanding foam let dry cut off with hand saw

Tom · Answer

Easifill is a great product to use in this instance as it dries quickly and is flexible. It's also easy to sand.

Depending on the size of the crack you can scrape it out with a Stanley knife and poly filler it then sand and paint over if the crack is too large for this you could pva the are scrim tape over the crack and plaster patch it then just paint and will all be as good as knew any other questions please do not hesitate to contact us

You can either use hardwall or bonding to fill the hole then multidimensional to do finishing off to do a nice smooth job

Probably best to remove any old loose plaster then see what's underneath it. Maybe it's a plasterboard with a joint but most likely lath and plaster. If it's plasterboard ensure it is secured correctly then skrim any cracks and possibly use easy fill which can be sanded back. If it's lath and plaster you will need to cut out the bad area and fill it out with bonding before giving it a skim coat of plaster

Andrew · Answer

Hi, depending on the size of the holes you could either refill them with plaster or if the holes aren't that big then you could simply use a ready mix filler, smooth it off, sand it down to the level of the wall and then paint.
I hope this helps.
