Two large ceilings taken down, replaced and skimmed
Two large ceilings that were past patching were taken down, reboarded, skimmed and finished with new coving, and the house was left clean and tidy.
What the customer needed
The customer had two large ceilings that needed replacing. When a ceiling has failed across its whole area, patching the worst spots just moves the problem along, so the honest advice is usually to take it down and start again.
We came out to quote, confirmed what needed doing, and the customer was happy with the price before anything started.
How the job was done
Both ceilings were taken down and the debris cleared. New plasterboard was fixed to the joists with the joints staggered to prevent cracking, then every joint was taped with scrim and the edges beaded for clean lines.
Each ceiling was skimmed with two coats of multi-finish plaster and trowelled smooth. To finish the rooms off, coving was fitted where the new ceilings met the walls.
How it turned out
The customer said they could not fault the work, that the ceilings look amazing, and that their home was left clean and tidy. They would highly recommend us.
