Kitchen Ceiling Repair and Light Replacement — Lansdowne Road, Leicester

Project Overview

British Builders attended a residential property on Lansdowne Road in Leicester to complete approved kitchen ceiling repair and light replacement works.

The kitchen ceiling showed visible damage, staining, exposed areas and loose finishes from previous water-related issues. The affected section was made safe, repaired, plastered and painted to improve the appearance and usability of the room.

The existing kitchen light fitting was removed and replaced with a new ceiling light, which was connected, tested and confirmed to be working correctly. During the visit, the engineer also noted additional remedial items outside the approved scope for separate review if required.
