Ceiling repair

Posted by Scott Drummond, on
Hi there. I am looking to post a job in Glasgow city centre for a tradeperson to repair a communal close ceiling - plasterboarding painting and putting in an access hatch. Not sure what trade to look for? Any thoughts.

Hi Scott, Thanks very much for your question! This type of job may require a few different trades. You'll need a plasterer to do the plaster boarding, painter and decorator to paint and either a handyman or carpenter to put in the access hatch. You may find a tradesperson to do all three, and if you do, make sure they have the skills to do it. I'd first recommend that you post the job under plastering, or painting and decorating. When you're ready, have a read through our homeowner's checklist for hiring advice: rated.co.uk/checklist. Hope this helps! Thanks, Alex Ask an Expert team
