Need Someone To Patch Holes On False Ceiling

[roswong 0]

hi there, I just had OpenNet come to install fibre optics at my place - they cut out 2 holes in my false ceiling to conceal the cables. Now, there are 2 holes in my false ceiling which need patching back, and I don't know where/how to find someone to do this. I'll have to repaint the ceiling after this to get the repairs done.

My place has just finished renovations - altho I asked my ID whether he can get someone to patch back, I suspect this is another chance to rip me off - I would prefer recommendations from the forum for people who know someone who can do the job.

I also need someone (preferably the same person) to drill some holes for me to install shelves (1 Ikea shelf in the kitchen) and 2 curtain rods. Would be grateful if you know of someone who can do this work.

Mega stressed out as I am having a New Year's Eve party and I now have holes in my ceiling! ARGH!!!

Hi,

if u want, u can actually do it yourself, its not difficult.

Just take a piece of wood/aluminum/pvc etc, put it across the hole, and drill/screw it in to secure.

then take the piece which was cut out and drill/screw it to the piece of wood/aluminum/pvc.

After that, u need to get the plaster powder (aka mani powder), mix with water according to manufacturer instruction, and use it to fill the cracks/seams. once dried, can paint over.

So did you managed to patch it back? I also installing opennet in existing false ceiling... contractor tell me need to spend 200 plus to open and then patch. Wonder if its so exp since I already need to spend 220 to get opennet down already.
