Kitchen wood slat ceiling

[cliffyt]

We have a wood strip ceiling in the kitchen which is cold due to high sloping ceiling.We wish to cover this with slatted wood appearance uPVC to improve insulation and save repainting etc.Woukd this be safe to do and comply with any fire regs in UK?
Also any ideas of cost including labour for approx 15ft x 11 ft ceiling divided by wood beam into 2 parts?

Adding plastic cladding will make no difference whatsoever to the insulation of the roof.

Use Hardie or Cedral clad...

As said, this won't improve the insulative performance of ceiling/roof by much.
