Thin ceiling slab

Gorteen

My daughter has a house that was built between 20 & 30 years ago. The ceiling slab is a very thin slab and I am finding it very difficult to find somewhere that sells something similar. Most slabs on sale are the usual 1/2 inch thick ones…. the slab in her ceilings are much thinner that those ones. Any guidance or advice for me?

What slab are you referring to? Is it the ceiling plasterboard? Most plasterboard these days is 12.5mm, while older stuff can be 8mm. You might find 9.5mm in Chadwicks. Tell us more.

If it's just for patching up a small section the below might do with a heavier skim on it.

Probably 3/8 inch slab in old money

Standard plasterboard is 12.5mm.

Ceiling plasterboards is 10mm (typical in multi-residential)

Flexible plaster is 6mm.
