I didn't realise they still used nails to tack plasterboard these days, but hopefully it goes without saying that if they've used plasterboard screws, please don't try and just bang these in - screw them in a bit more, enough to sink the head below the finished plaster level without tearing the lining. Bit of easi-fill and re-paint.0
