Hi Tris, thanks for the tip. I am hoping they will be able to put plasterboard over the current ceiling without removing it to avoid the mess!

Yes, I vote for the plasterboard over original solution as well.  We did it in two rooms with great success.

Hi Geoff, did you have yours done recently? Do you have the contact details of the people who did it?

Hi Kate,

It was a long time ago.  The guys that did it also put new plaster coving all the way round (their speciality) and did a fantastic job. 

Magic - found the invoice from 2004 (I'm not really a horder).  DLS Traditional Designs 01375 402882 - and they still exist!

Hi Kate

I've very recently replaced 2 ceilings in my house and the plasterer who did it is due back to me next week to plaster a room for me. He is not the cheapest you'll find but his workmanship is superb. Tris makes some valid points - I assisted in pulling down the old ceilings and the mess is horrendous - throw away hooded overalls and masks are highly recommended! We used rockwall for added insulation and some sound proofing but if you have people above you may require something more substantial!

If you would like me to ask Chris if he would provide a quote could you provide greater details about what is required - I assume old ceilings down, plaster board and a skim of plaster as a minimum - is their anything else?

Hi Steve, is there any chance you would be able to give me Chris' contact details so he can come around and have a look? I'd really like someone to see it and give advice on the best thing to do. I'm not sure if the ceiling will need pulling down or if it would be possible to just put plasterboard over the top. Thanks, Kate

Hi Kate

I've just contacted Chris to confirm he's coming to me next week and he's confirmed it's ok to give you his details which are: 07976952332.

If you'd like to see the work he's done for us feel free to send me a connection request.

Hi Steve

we also have quite a lot of plastering to do in our house, including replacing of an old ceiling in one of our rooms. What you say about Chris sounds promising, does he have an email address as well?

Many thanks

Miriam

Hi Miriam

I am sorry I don't have an email address for Chris but he won't mind you ringing him. Any problems let me know.

Cheers - Steve
