Removed a small wall in the apartment produced in 2012 to make a bedroom larger. What's left is this in the ceiling.

How do you fix it in the best way? Is it regular plaster that is sprayed on in the factory? Do you have to redo the entire ceiling to make it right?

Grateful for your answers!

Not a painter, but that looks like it might be possible to smooth out. How thick is it? The texture can probably be mimicked with a roller in the filler. Might be worth a try at least.

(If you've removed a cable that went down in the wall, I would appreciate some sort of measure so the outlet in the ceiling can be found again if something needs to be drawn there. Measure the outlet precisely and place a note in the meter cabinet.)

(If you've torn out a cable that goes down into the wall, I would appreciate some form of action so you can find the outlet in the ceiling again if you want to pull something there. Measure the outlet exactly and place a note in the meter cabinet.)
If I leave cut VP pipes that might be reused, I usually put a magnet at the end of the pipe, then it’s easy to find after you’ve filled over it.

Thanks! Talked to a painter friend who said roughly the same thing you're saying.

The VP-rör goes to a ceiling box 150 cm away, but smart thought to mark it 🙏
