Without knowing the layout of your house it might be something that is unavoidable. Its relatively simple to make good the plaster, assuming it's a plasterboard ceiling, re-papering less so. I would expect any tradesman to make good as part of their price if they have to carry out invasive work like that.

We are having a rewire done in a 1850's 2 story house. In the downstairs they have cut an 8 inch hole in the roof next to the light fitting rather than lift floorboards above. Is this normal or should I be annoyed?
Leading on from that, how hard is it to plaster over the whole and repaper a ceiling?
