Ceilling issues

[nightstalker]

Hi guys,
Today myself and my partner decided to rip down the old wall paper in our bedroom (Victorian terraced), the plaster looks original (not so sure about the ceiling though) and in good condition (easy enough to paper anyway), but the ceiling is a lot worse than we expected.
I knew there was a 'divot' where the step ladders had been bashed against the ceiling, but there are a lot more cracks and in one place a hole....but the worst part is, in one point of the ceiling you can actually push the plaster up about 1cm (right by the 'divot'). We don't have much money (none in reality) and was hoping a bit of filler here and there would sort out the issues, but I fear it is a lot worst than that.....can any one shed any light/ideas on this please.

The hole - this I think will be filled easily.


The 'divot'

It needs re-boarding and skimming. Until you can afford it then just patch it and paint it. £350 ish to sort it.

I assume you mean £350 to re-board and skim?

Thanks for the quick reply

Yeah - somewhere around that price.
