Hello. I have a builder coming monday to put new plasterboard up on my ceiling and skim the whole living room.
I am having new plasterboard due to the condition and the artex on my old ceiling. Now the builder is going to tack the new plasterboard on top of the old stuff thats there which suit me due to the rubbish I would have to get rid of in a 27x15 foot room.
Is it ok to tack the new stuff on top of the old? I am sure the builder knows what hes talking about but I have heard that this is wrong and will lead to cracks in the ceiling.
Please leave your opinions, Thanks Shaun.
