Anyone know roughly how much it should cost for a ceiling to be pulled down, then re-boarded and skimmed for a room around about 14 foot by 12? Cheers.
No idea on the price but are you sure it needs the ceiling pulling down and not simply boarding over (or under I guess technically) the existing ceiling? Would cut down on the cost and the mess significantly.
Save some money and pull it down yersen, nowt of a job. Plaster boarding isn't that difficult either. Just need someone to skim it for you then.
Easy ! Stick thi hammer through ceiling , then gradually pull chunks of plaster down with ya claw hammer.
I have done a bit of plaster-boarding myself - and I'm "only" a woman. It really is quite straightforward - BUT where ceilings are concerned, you have to hire the platform to hold the boards up, otherwise you will have biceps the size of Bournemouth and a crick in your neck for a month. Give it a go and then get someone in to do the "mudding and taping" to finish it off properly.
