jjk 0 Report post Posted December 5, 2012 Hi,I have a spalling ceiling in my flat. It will be fixed. But as I have very young children at home, I'm concerned about the smell that may result from the repair works.Any idea if there would be any chemical smell, and usually, how long does it take for the smell to go away? Would there be smell from the painting of the ceiling too?Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
