Hi,
I want to do a plaster ceiling manhole but a few people quoted rm 250 which my opinion quite expensive
I went to a plaster ceiling material supplier shop and notice they sell ready made manhole cover
So I was thinking is it possible to diy the manhole? In theory I would think just cut the appropriate hole size, slide the cover in and that's it. if it is that simple, was thinking doing it myself
any opinion?
If you are getting the contractor to your house just to make the ceiling manhole only, then paying RM250 is reasonable for the aluminium frame plaster ceiling manhole. You may be able to purchase the manhole cover & frame yourself from the shops for about RM100-130. You will then need the plaster ceiling compound and the skill labour to complete the job. So, I would say paying RM 250 is reasonable.I want to do a plaster ceiling manhole but a few people quoted rm 250 which my opinion quite expensive

However, you should solve the roof leakage first if the leakage area also requires repair on the plaster ceiling. Else you could end up getting the contractor to your place twice and end up paying more.
