How to fill large gaps between wood beam and paneling

[MariaDF]

 

 So we recently moved into our home and I have discovered these huge finger thick gaps between the roof beam and wall panels. I need advice on how to best fill and have a visually pleasing result as it is in the living room (but essentially everywhere in the house). Thanks for helping me!

Hi @MariaDF,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

Is it possible to get some more photos of the space? This is definitely not a standard way of closing in a living space so I'm not sure if they have left this gap for a reason or not.

You may be able to simply attach a piece of timber to cover the gap, but I'd have to see more of what is going on to know whether this is the best method of doing this. 

Allow me to tag @Nailbag, @Jewelleryrescue and @TedBear to see what they think.

Sure understand, I have taken a few more photos- it is gaps galore 😩, marked the original one with red so you can see where it is in the room. You can only see it on a ladder or in case of the brick wall gaps when you look straight at it (other images). Hope that helps clarify my dilemma. Was thinking a polyfiller and then quads but the gaps are uneven and ranging from 1-2cm. 

 

 

 

Marked the other gaps red as well, so it is more clear where they are.

 

 Also think that originally there were no gaps but the whole house has settled over the last 40years and then the gaps appeared? It is a 2 storey home, the pics are upstairs from the main living space and the bottom of the home is mud brick.
