How to tidily restore a sandstone fireplace?

[iainmcpherson]

Hi there, I hope I am posting this message in the correct section.

I would really appreciate some advice in regards to the best solution to restore a stone fireplace that was previously covered by plasterboard.

I am looking to fit a log burning stove into the hole, however I would like to restore as much of the old fireplace as possible. The plasterboard has been applied so it protrudes the fireplace (see attached picture), can anyone recommend a tidy way to create a neat edge between the sandstone and plaster?



Any help would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks.
Iain

A stop bead...cut the pb back beyond edge of stonework,fix a stop bead at your disired position and then plaster up to bead.
