Filling in an old doorway between living room and kitchen Kitchens, doors, rails, stud, tables, chairs, stair cases, garden furniture etc... Find answers and ask questions here!

Hello,

There used to be a door from the living room to the kitchen. This has been removed and the intention is to wall of this section.

My question is should I just frame and board the gap where the door used to be or should I remove the plasterboard up to the ceiling and the join to the right and reboard with full sheets of plasterboard.

Any helpful advice appreciated.

Hi goadelpus,
Glue and screw a frame around the opening timber, form studwork in the opening, fit new plasterboard tape joints and skim whole wall.
