  • Had a crack at screwing the dropped/sagging plasterboard back.

    It's dropped a lot more than I realised.

    I managed to make a hole while screwing one screw in. Annoying, but it allowed me to have a feel around - the plasterboard is still not dry.

    This is now firming in the get someone else in category. So three questions really;

    1) if all the ceiling plasterboard is fucked and the ceiling needs to be redone what sort of cost are we talking about - need to weigh up an insurance claim Vs. cash?
    2) what sort of trade do I need? It's not strictly plastering is it?
    3) any recommendations in the Hertsmere area?

    Cheers.

  • Have you had a leak?

    Plasterboard is easy to replace yourself (with a second pair of hands) as long as you haven’t got anything decorative like coving or loads of ceiling lights.

    Skimming a ceiling shouldn’t be more than a day’s job.
