Hi, im just doing up the bedroom on a house we've just bought. After taking off the paper on the ceiling every single joint in the ceiling plasterboard has a hairline crack! House built in the late 50's. On closer inspection the PB was only tacked on with nails and has hessien scrim tape so i assume its the original ceiling. Idealy i dont want to overboard the ceiling as i know i will end up doing the same in every room through the house.
Is there any way of fixing it like scraping a V out the joins then filling or is it really a waste of time on a ceiling that old? I was thinking of doing the above and then finding the joists and screwing every 400mm.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
