Polystyrene Ceiling Tiles allowed???

Hi (for my own house) in my bedroom - i have artex styled wallpaper on the ceiling which i hate!

the ceiling is not best shape from what i recall hence my father putting the paper on the ceiling instead of the full plasterboard, skimming job.

theres a lot of stuff in the room so i dont want to skim now either. not spend the money.

but people are telling me they are not allowed as they catch fire etc.

why do they sell them then??? mind you i could not find in b&q or wickes - only homebase.....

your guidance is much appreciated!

 

The modern ones have fire retardent in them. However, that won't stop them giving off toxic smoke in a fire.

If you ever want to sell or rent your house most surveyors will highlight them and advise their removal.

American 'tin tiles' are available from some importers in the UK for a panelled look
