Browse Forums Building A New House Re: dropdown ceiling 2Jan 15, 2022 2:21 pm Very costly to do the kitchen bulkhead post handover. You need to get chippy to frame up the bulkhead, possibly electrician to run cables for any bulkhead lights, plasterer to plaster the bulkhead and painter to paint the bulkhead with the same colour as the rest of your house. Much easier and likely cheaper to do it during construction.

No way you get anyone to do that after handover for near that cost.

Thanks. I paid $800 for kitchen drop down ceiling, it seems reasonable. How do you remove one of these ceiling air con vents?
