Hello!
In the middle of renovating our kitchen. The partition wall has been torn down and the old kitchen is in heaps in the yard. Now what?
The house was built in '39. The walls are concrete with about 2 cm concrete plaster? and then a couple of layers of wallpaper.
When the old kitchen was removed, large pieces of the plaster came with it. The same thing happened with the torn down wall (see to the right of the window in the picture). In other words, there's a 1-2 cm deep hole in the ceiling, walls, and floor where the old wall was previously attached to exterior walls, etc.
What do you fill the holes with? Some kind of concrete or is there filler that works? Is it just a matter of buying a bag of suitable material and mixing it up, then throwing it on the walls and ceiling, waiting for it to dry, and then sanding and repeating until the desired quality is achieved?
Can you manage this yourself if you're somewhat handy?
Seems darn hard to get the ceiling sorted properly...
Or is it easier to get a painting company to fix everything?
Thanks in advance.

Why not clean up the wall with b-bruk?
If they are large holes, as you write, then patch up with plaster. The type of plaster depends on what was used previously. If the holes aren't larger than a putty knife can cover, I would buy a bag of repair compound that works great for filling. Make sure to vacuum what needs to be repaired.
