Tips wanted for demolition of aerated concrete wall
Hi! I'm eagerly waiting as I've just bought a house that I'll soon get access to. The house is a 50s brick villa with concrete floors, and my first project is to tear down an interior wall made of lightweight concrete (the wall is not load-bearing and doesn't contain any electrical wiring).
What I'm not quite sure about is how to finish it after the demolition. I'm thinking about the surfaces where the old wall adjoins the ceiling, walls, and floor. How should I proceed to remove as much of the wall as possible and still achieve a nice result? Has anyone done the same thing and can share their experiences? Or anyone else who simply wants to help a new homeowner a little along the way?
Grateful for any advice!

The wall was probably put there after the vaults were cast and therefore no problem in the ceiling other than clearing, plastering, and painting the ceiling.
But does a lightweight concrete wall really stand on a wooden floor? It probably stands on underlying concrete, and then it should be done in the same way as the surrounding floor is constructed.

Okay. Hope that's the case. Suspect just as you said that the wall stands on underlying concrete and therefore I'm a bit unsure how to make the seam between the wooden floors as neat as possible. But hopefully, it will become clearer when the wall is demolishedL Leif i Skåne said:The wall was probably put up after the arches were cast and therefore no problem with the ceiling other than clearing, plastering, and painting the ceiling.
