Woodchip wallpaper & woodchip ceiling

Newbie to Diy hence why that question so to try to get a nice finish once all work done.

As I am getting ready for DIY paint refresh of the full flat, it might be work to consider what to do with the woodchip wallpaper – top edge wall re lounge as well as Kitchen, hallway bathroom, and bedroom ceiling. (lucky lounge has flat ceiling! )


Taking it out is risky as it could be what hold the wall together – ok I am exaggerating but no one know what is under until taking it out.


Should I bother to plaster over / get someone to take it out and make it all smooth? Or should I just keep it easy and paint over?


Thanks

Personally I would get rid and besides if thats what you are thinking of doing and you end up not doing it then you will regret it, trust me! Good Luck
