Plasterer
Plasterers have a few tools that they need, including the hawk. This is a square piece of wood used for plastering or pointing brickwork. It is an excellent hand tool as it keeps plaster from getting on your hands when using your trowel. Another tool used by plasterers is the "pointing hawk", which applies small amounts of mortar on to the wall.
You should remove mold and mildew from the ceiling before beginning to repair it. A stain blocking primer such as shellac is also an option. When you're done with patching you can start painting over the stain. This might sound difficult but you have many options for ceiling textures.
