Gyprock a small section of ceiling

$600

Newtown NSW 2042, Australia

20th Aug 2026

I need a section of gyprock installed in my bathroom ceiling. It was left open to install a high cupboard, but now decided not to proceed with a cupboard, so the space needs to be gyprocked. The area is approx. 1800mm x 600mm. Ceiling height is 3.1m. It will also need a small trim edge. No painting required.

The fitting of a small section of gyprock ceiling was okay except some small but untidy gaps were left due to the house "being old" (which he could have just filled). I had requested edge trim in my original task description, but he didn't know what that was. I showed him pictures of what edge trim was. After being completely stuffed around the next day when he was supposed to come back to fit it, I finally told him not to bother coming back.
