Hi, about 2 weeks ago I was in my ex boyfriend’s attic (with his permission! lol) and he noticed a crack, which turned into a hole when I slipped and almost fell through into the bedroom! If you lie in bed you can now see right through to the attic; while it could be considered a design feature, my ex isn’t keen on it :-) It’s not very big, probably only 1.5ft square if that but obviously the plaster is missing, one of the lathes (think that’s what they’re called; the thin pieces of wood just behind the plaster) is broken in half and poking throught he hole and little bits of the fibreglass indsulation are falling down. My ex told his landlord who said it would cost £150 to repair the damage, but I’m convinced my ex could do it himself…but how? Any ideas? I have been offered a large piece of plasterboard, could he use this in any way and would he have to enlarge the hole to replace the entire lathe? How does he replaster…etc - help please!
