You will definitely have to find out why this happened in the first place, when that is established this will determine what needs to be done to rectify the area.

Philip · Answer

This obviously should not have happened, the only way is to reskin the plaster but use a good 50/50 of PVA mix before application of plaster skim

If u had it just plastered then it probably will all come off so it probably be best to start again and reboard it or get the person to sort it out or if u can repiar it that would be cheaper

Callum · Answer

Probably down to the plasterer not using PVA first or has probably used PVA watered down to many times, get it hacked off because it will probably fall down soon enough, blue grit it then replastered. I know it’s not ideal for yourself because of the extra costs but you need to hire a professional..

If the Ceiling was artex that is were the problem is as plaster will not key to artex with out a few stages to be carried out 1st, If any paper on the ceiling was left on there that would also make it drop hope this helps.

Keith · Answer

Sadly a lot of plasterers do not PVA or use a product called blue grit, these stop the moisture in the new plaster being absorbed too quickly and the blue grit does that and also gives a key if its a smooth surface.   You don't say the extent of the new plaster failing, so it is not easy trying to advise without exact details. If its just small sections use a smooth filler, If the plaster is laminating in places, it may need to be scraped off, then PVA/blue-grit applied and then have the job re-plastered, the next time following the above you will have a finished job that will last.

Over board your ceiling then tape and skim most times it’s best to board kitchen ceilings rather than just skim as they get grease on them of cooking

Jonathan · Answer

If that is happening to freshly plastered ceiling the best thing you can do is contact the man that done it.  It really all needs taking down, and when doing the job the man did not unbond it properly
