I need to replace the fibre board ceiling in my 4ft x 6ft boiler room with fire resistant plaster board and then skim the ceiling. I thought this was a job for a plasterer but am have difficulty finding one prepared to do this job. What other trade would consider undertake the replacement of the ceiling but without the plastering? Perhaps a carpenter?
Carpenter to replace the ceiling, plasterer to skim it. I'd be happy to replace the ceiling depending on the location.
Plasterers can normally board and skim, but if they have plenty of work on. They can earn more just skimming. You can get tappered boards. So any decorator can fill and paint.and it looks the same as plaster. Only if they are good......
A good carpenter could probably do this, I also carry out small areas of plastering so I would have considered this
A carpenter would be your best bet , although some people classify plasterboarding as one trade
Yes carpenter would be best option but this type of job isn’t hard to do any one with a bit of common sense and handy with a measuring tape knife and screw gun can do this but yes a carpenter would be first choice
Thats something that a carpenter would be able to fit.
