Installing plasterboard ceilings can be a challenging DIY project, so in most cases it is best left to the experts. A professional plasterer will not only install plasterboard on ceilings that have a smooth finish, but they will also account for any downlights or lighting fixtures you want to install.
Repairing Plasterboard Ceilings
One of the downsides of plasterboard is that it isn’t the strongest material. Accidents can puncture the plasterboard, exposing a hole in your ceiling. Lighter collisions with your plasterboard can result in unsightly dents, which may be easier to repair.
For smaller dents, repairs can often be carried out as a DIY project. There are plenty of great videos online, such as this one, which talk you through the steps of repairing plasterboard ceilings with small dents.
For larger repairs, a professional plasterer may be the best option. Repairing a hole in plasterboard can be difficult, and if the work isn’t carried out to a high standard, the plasterboard repair may be very obvious.

Replace a Plasterboard Ceiling
Water can badly damage a plasterboard ceiling. Water ingress is commonly caused by a leaking roof or clogged gutters overflowing. Depending on the level of damage, you may need a new plasterboard ceiling installation, rather than a repair.
When replacing a plasterboard ceiling, you may want to update the electrics. This is often a great time to install new lighting, such as down lights or a dimmer switch. Rewiring and installing new lighting will be much cheaper when carried out as part of a plasterboard ceiling replacement when compared to carrying out the work on it’s own.
