Ceiling fallen in - which trade to contact?
Due to a leak from above the ceiling in a house I am considering buying has fallen in. Which type of tradesmen should I contact? I am thinking a plasterer - but not sure. Indications of cost would also be useful.

Leaks are usually caused by roofing leaks identifying them is key to stopping future ceiling problems once they have been repaired. getting a qualified roofer to identify the work and then having another one of our team members fix the issue you can be rest assured that leak will not return.

A plasterer should be able to help you repair the ceiling. Make sure the leak is fixed first but a plaster should be able to remove all damaged area (entire ceiling if needed) then re fix new plasterboard and plaster to a nice finish. Cost really depends on size of work needing to be done.
