Feeling a bit saggy

seeking some advice, just had some down lights installed in my PPOR and the electrician said some of the gyprock is a bit saggy, I had noticed that some nail holes were becoming visible internally, this also is the case in the al fresco. The house is exactly 8 years old, wondering 1) if it would be covered by the builder 2) do I call a ceiling fixer or is gyprocking a discrete trade? 3) any local (Eastern suburbs Perth) recommendations, any other advice welcomed and thanks in advance.

 

probably small roof leak

 

More than likely that the plasterboard wasn't properly supported and glues to the ceiling battens.

Plasterboard fixer or handy-dandy-man should be able to rescrew and retape/set joints.

 

If it's not sagging because of water issues, it's pretty easy to get in the roof and put new glue between the gyprock and beams then nail/screw until the glue dries. Then patch over the nail/screw holes.

8 years old won't be covered by the builder.

 

Thanks very much for this. It is a bit beyond my capabilities, and I need a few other bits and pieces done, anyone have any local handy person clues, or, should I call Jim? Never called Jim before but he seems to do everything.

 

Jim of all trades, master of none?

 

Have a handy guy that I found on the money saving site I belong to, coming to quote tomorrow, will let you know!

 

Have seen this recently.
As above, more than likely needs a whole heap of screws etc...
