make sure boards are solid on the ceiling , then re skim , failing that you could try some decorators corkin and re paint as its flexable.
Are the boards plastered or joint taped?
How old is the property/how long has the ceiling been up?
Few options:
You can rake the joints out apply tape and replaster the whole ceiling or feather out.
You can joint tape and fill out using jointing compound.
You can overboard the whole ceiling and plaster.
This all depends on the condition of the ceiling, ceilings tend to sag and crack on the joints, more often when lots of foot trafic above and the boards only being 9.5mm instead of 12.5mm.
The choice is yours!
