Bedroom ceiling in my flat in Balham (SW12), approx 4.1m x 4.0m. It has hairline cracks, mainly near the built-in wardrobes, looks like it's sagging slightly, and the cracks seem to be getting worse. I'd like an experienced plasterer to assess it and do the work, whether that's repair and re-skim, overboard and skim, or take down and replace. I already have one quote for take down and replace, so I'm looking for comparison quotes. Please say in your offer whether the price includes materials, waste removal and making good, and whether you'd want to visit before confirming. Photos of the cracks available. I own the flat.

Remove ALL debris, leftover materials and rubbish; leave both properties clean. Send progress photos before covering repairs and on completion. TIMING: Start ASAP.

My heated towel rail in the bathroom is leaking from the valve at the bottom. I’m not sure how to fix it. It heats up all the way to the top and works fine otherwise. It’s just leaking water from the valve. I have marked with a circle in the pictures where the leak is dripping from.
