I have holes in the celling were the plaster has fallen because the screws are used to hold the plaster board ! Why has this happened please help me!

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Is it an old house and is there movement in the joists? Try putting scrim tape over the screws. This will take more time an money but is worth it.

the reason it is popping on the screws that are used to hold the board up is because there must be some sort of slight movement in ceiling such as boards are not fully screwed tight to joists so board can bounce between joist and screw head best thing to do is put extra screws in obviously next to where it has popped previously as that is where joist is and fill holes after
