Cost of replacing a bedroom ceiling due to rain?
Hey all,
Pretty inexperienced regarding home renovations etc so bear with me as I thought the wise crew here might have an idea. A year ago we had a storm that came through and our house was the only one that took a beating on the street. Roof tiles got thrown off and a hole allowed for rain to seep in. The rescue guys did a great job and the roof was basically patched but the ceiling started to sag. We went through our insurance provider and while the roof was originally in good order, they refused to fix it on the basis that it was an old house and they could get away with it. They simply painted over a few cracks and where the color had soaked through and collected their money (but that is another story).
So now, it's gotten to a point where we want to have the ceiling of that bedroom replaced or repaired and we think it will need to all be replaced and a new ceiling put in.
Anyone have any ideas on how much it would cost? Furthermore who do I even call up as obviously a plumber fixes the plumbing but the ceiling? This will further mean we will need an electrician too to reinstall the light fittings am I right?
Cheers guys!
