Porch ceiling repairs

I need to get the ceiling in my porch replaced, new plasterboards then plastering. Plus the boards that form the garage roof need replacing. What sort of tradesman do I call? It's a small job

I don't know what sort of "boards" you mean "that form the garage roof", but this job can be not as "small" as you think. However, given the current situation with the building market, I think a good handyman can be your best bet.Otherwise it's a decorator/plasterer for the ceiling and a builder/roofer for the roof.0

I wasn't clear it's plasterboard that forms the internal garage ceiling. The roof was replaced last week.0

Plasterer would be the trade, although you can get taper edged boards and tape and fill the joints without the need for plaster.0

I certainly would be calling a handyman.
seems obvious really but call a plasterer, or any builder I'd say 95% of builders do plastering work0
