Plastering & Rendering

Which trade is better to build a false chimney breast, carpenter or plasterer?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.32 PM

Reason I am asking is because i want a false chimney breast with a tv installed in it and an electric fire place also. I'm unsure if the wall should be made from mdf, plasterboard or both. Any help and guidance would be appreciated.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Probably best to have a chippy build the false wall, they'll probably build from timber and if your wanting to hang a tv, then defo fix ply before plasterboarding, best way to guarantee a good fix for tv bracket

A carpenter would build out the frame to fit the tv and fire place and get an electrician to wire the tv and fire place and either a chippy or plasterer would plaster board it then it would be plastered
