I stepped on my plasterboard ceiling on Sunday when in the loft. D'oh!
There is a small half credit card sized hole and some cracks leading to it. If it were just this hole it would be easy to fix, but there's more.
The hole is right on the edge where two plasterboard panels meet. Both panels have been pushed down a cm or two so where the hole is looks like a bulge from inside the room.
I can't push the plasterboard back up, it just resists before it gets flat and springs back to the bulge.
I have checked for obstructions between the board and the ceiling joists, but all I can find are the fixings for the board.
I tried pushing one or the other board down to see if I could get the edges to meet up better, but no luck.
I tried holding a batten against the ceiling from below along the joists and hammering back up, but it doesn't budge.
Should I cut back square as far as the "bulge" exists? Anyone dealt with similar?
