i wouldnt let it put you off. they can cause problems in a fire so i would remove. it can go two ways they can be hiding a load of problems or the ceilings could be perfect, your lucky its a bungalow. insidently the name bungalow came about in the 50s when two irish fellas were building a house and ran out of bricks, not to be detured mick said "bung a low roof on it" . at a guess i would say they are sound, these tiles were once fashionable and with it being a bungalow i assume previous tennant are elderly and they liked this sort of thing.

I've just taken some off a staircase ceiling.
Scraped the tiles off leaving the blobs of adhesive. Removed the pan off my steam-stripper and directed the nozzle at each blob individually, scraping them off easily.

Make sure steam-stripper has water in and is turned on or it wont work.
