Yes there is, I would scrape any loose stuff off and mix up some easyfill 40 and apply with a broad bladed caulking knife. There will be some shrink back so you will need to sand down in between coats but once dry, apply a mist coat then top coat of your choice .
You could use any filler really but some fillers are harder to sand than others and easyfill is easy to sand to a good paintable finish.

After removing the loose bits, I would slap on a generous amount of "No Nonsense All Purpose Filler" from Screwfix and sand down with a power sander after 24 hours.

It might be a generic Screwfix filler but it's ready mixed and decent, and you'll get the job done for 3 quid.

Be very careful scraping off any loose bits, especially on ceiling plaster like yours, because it's so easy to make it spread. I normally get a stanley knife, and make a very light cut all around/just beyond the loose area, then gently take it off. Also, give the area a very light dampen first with a small brush.I would also put a small amount of pva over it too, just before I put on the plaster/filler.

Great advice guys, many thanks. I'll go with the easyfill 40 as I hate working with some of the hard fillers.

Cheers all, Devs.

Finding out the cause might help?

Why the various drilled holes?
Is that a plasterboard ceiling overboarding another p/b ceiling?
What is above - a loft or a room?

The damage was do prior to me owning the house. My guess would be when they were installing the spots they hit a beam or something. It's a double height + room that come off the main house, no loft above.
