I need to reconstruct the ceiling to wall corner through papering and compounding. The ceiling has a textured coat on it that I need to remove. The coat is rendered from some typical ceiling product. How can this coat be removed without damaging the ceiling plasterboard to give me a flat surface? Thanks.

Sometimes a steam stripper will help but it is hard work and messy. It is likely that the textured finish was applied because the ceiling was in a poor state. I would probably recommend that the finish is left in place and skimmed.
I only need to flatten near the wall. Skimming would involve the whole ceiling. Would sanding work?
I don't have a steam stripper. I do have a steam generator kettle. I hope that would work when combined with a putty knife.

I just need a flat area to reform the wall/ceiling corner using paper tape and compound. I think 10cm flat ceiling next to the wall should be good enough. Once the the corner is made, I will recreate the ceiling texture.
