Oct 04, 2025

This week’s projects involved installing a hidden access panel, then repairing the surrounding plasterboard beside a flue in a Cambridgeshire home.

The repair was then filled, sanded, and carefully colour-matched to blend perfectly with the surrounding wall.

The finished result is a hidden access panel that keeps the space looking clean and tidy, while still allowing future access if needed — practical and seamless.
