Throwing this out to the OCUK hive mind as its a new one on me.
When we bought the house we are in now, the previous owners had affixed a wooden bed/shelving unit to the walls into the box room for their son. We've removed this to make room for our daughters cotbed. For some reason they had removed the skirting behind the bed. To which end we need to replace the skirting in the whole room as we can't find one to match the rest.
I've removed the skirting and the plaster boards in the room only go down as far as the top of the skirting. Below is a void to the bricks.
My question is what do we do with the void and do we need to do anything? the bottom of the plaster board is a little worn so will need minor repairs before affixing the skirting board anyway.
Thanks in advance for your help
