Can anyone explain why plastering ceilings is considered beyond the capabilities of diyers by books etc ( eg big strong boys!). Having become fairly proficient at walls, base and skim coats, I am dying to attempt a ceiling, and cant see why it should be any more difficult, except harder on the arms! TIA of any advice cheers

i think it is considered hard incase it falls off.
Put it this way pretending you're wallpapering the vertical walls now that was easy wasn't it , now you're wallpapering the ceiling ! Not quite the same is it ? ! The plaster have to be right mixture + wetness and correct pressure onto ceiling as you're working upside down. I'm not saying you can't do it but it not the same as a vertical walls and you have to be quick otherwise you'll lose the suction of the plaster to the ceiling.
Good luck and erm , er erm there is a disaster forum on the homepage!!!
