Ceiling patch up question

[messy]

Hi
I'm not sure what would be the best way to approach this problem after removing a stud wall.
Should I patch the ceiling up and skim or replace the dashed outlined area with a section of plasterboard?

If the joists are easya nd the levels good I'd patch it and skim the whole ceiling. If it's a ballache with the joists as they are then I'd bring it down and replace as you've shown... more money too

Overboard the lot of it and skim.

Overboard the lot of it and skim.

that gets my vote as well

More importantly
What lazy c**t runs a cable like that in the ceiling.
Just overboard the lot and skim.
Probably take same amount of time farting about getting joists to put bits it.

Thanks for the helpful advice, I will go overboard then.

If you are removing the exciting wall tiles do this before you do the ceiling, or in the future when you do remove them you will damage the plasterboard that has been butted up to the tiles.
