Hi I’m having a room plastered. My ceiling feels slightly loose and I suspect nails were used to hold plasterboard in place that over the years have worked free from the joists. My plasterer has given me two choices:
1. Find the joists and put a load of screws in to secure existing plasterboard and the plaster over or
2. Board over with new plasterboard and then skim over.
I’m not sure which is best and he’s given me a choice. One is slightly more expensive but that’s not so much of a concerned I just want the best long term results. The current ceiling has visible cracks on the joins
Thanks in advance
