    Correct method to repair badly cracked painted ceiling - cold exposure

    Scrape off. Old emulsion under. Bit powdery? Here we use gardz to penetrate as and bind surface. Make good with filler and paint. Get up in loft and add more insulation so the ceiling dont get cold which will reduce or even stop condensation forming on the surface. Or fit plastic panels to ceiling

    How to fix acoustic plasterboard to block wall without dot and dab?

    How much postcrete per swing leg hole?
