Celing work

Hello all.

Bit of help needed please. We bought a new house in December and took down a fitted wardrobe. Hidden above the piece of wood at the top was a patch of ceiling that has come down (about 12 inches by 20 inches). The paper is bulging. It is dry and does not seem to have been damp.

Any ideas on who I need to fix this? A plasterer? Builder?

Any input/advice/help most appreciated. X

    A plasterer will sort this out. He'll set a new piece of plaster board in and skim the hole off, feathering it off.

    Couple of hours work. Shouold get change out of £100

    Fabulous. That was the kind of answer I was after. We are stripping the wallpaper today so will do that and see if any other work in the room needs doing before I get someone in for a quote.

    Thanks a lot.
