My eldest will be moving to the loft bedroom soon and the youngest will be moving out of the box room into the eldests former room. To prepare the loft, I took down all of the terrible light fittings so I could put things right and paint over the multiple shades of the previous owners favourite colour, blue, including a light blue ceiling. Will be Dulux Trade Matt White.
When taking down one light, I was greeted with a massive hole, covered by the base of the light.
I watched a few YouTube clips and decided I'd use the patch with some plasterboard then tape and fill. Found some plasterboard in a skip when out on a walk and used a few offcuts of wood that were lying about the fibre glass tape and Easifill. Required a couple of different rub backs as didn't use enough filler the first time. Getting the edges feathered was the hardest bit.
Just finished mist coating it (not shown) . Turned out OK I reckon.
