Following a water leak, I have had to make 3 holes about 9inx6ins in the plaster board ceiling to locate it.
The "centre of the holes is spanned by a joist, so I have a good fixing available.
Would I be best served by removing more board so that i replaced one decent sized peice, but how should I deal with the edges that would not be supported by a joist?
NB The presence of coving prevents me from removing aanything adjacent to the wall.
Alternatively. would I be better by cutting a very large hole so that a piece of replacement could be nailed across two joists?
Thanks!
Any other tips?
