Put my foot through landing ceiling!

Was pottering about in the attic and forgot to tread on the beams 🤦‍♀️ (it isn't boarded) then came down to find plaster everywhere and this massive crack 😱😭 To make things more complex, as you can see it is Artex (DH was panicking about asbestos due to that, but surely that wouldn't be a concern in a 2001 build house?) Also we rent so can't claim on buildings insurance (really don't want to be telling landlord!)
Any idea of who is best to fix this and how much it might cost??

Thanks in advance!

Get a plasterer out, shouldn't cost much. Alternatively a bit of joining tape, some plaster and a bit of paint will do the trick.

Thanks - I contacted a plasterer today and they said they would need to re-plaster the whole ceiling due to the artex! But going to speak to our NDN for advice who is a builder to see if DH can do it
