Hello, I am doing some renovations on my bedroom, where we removed one ensuite bathroom.

The wall paper in the ceiling need to be removed and the whole ceiling should be made good (length is 4m by 3.4m wide). The pictures I have uploaded still have the studs that use to hold the bathroom wall but those will be gone by the time you start the job
