March 9, 20206 yr In our hallway, there is annoying gap between the last beam and the poorly fitted plasterboard. It’s unsightly, and it also allows for drafts. Space is limited. I thought of polyfilla first, but it’s difficult to get in, and sanding it later will be a problem too. The gaps are quite wide to caulk. Suggestions welcome.
March 9, 20206 yr I suggest you chew toilet roll (admittedly can be hard to find these days but worth a look) and insert it in the gaps. The saliva acts as a harding agent but retains flexibility.
March 9, 20206 yr This is good for small areas. https://www.wilko.com/en-uk/unibond-whiteteq-expanding-foam-500ml/p/0457575
March 9, 20206 yr pull out strip of PB fill behind with foam or what ever --refit PB when it still sof-pb should stick to it -trim off foam as required ? Edited March 9, 20206 yr by scottishjohn

March 9, 20206 yr Author I had thought of expanding foam. Removing the PB and then putting it back in after the expanding foam has been introduced is a good idea.
