We need to get a couple of bedroom ceilings improved (they currently have hideous wood chip paper covering a multitude of cracks and bulges). I've had one quote already from a contact, but my husband thinks its rather expensive, so I would like a couple of others for comparison.
I think in both cases we will need to plasterboard over the existing ceilings, replace the cornices and then skim finish the new ceilings with plaster - so I need more of a general building company rather than just a plasterer. (I have a handyman who can come in and do the repainting after).
Any recommendations would be much appreciated. We're looking to get this done in the next 3 months before our 2nd baby arrives and we have less flexibility to sleep in our spare rooms while the work is being done, or have paint fumes to worry about.
Thanks
