Hi,
I want to renovate the bedroom ceiling in my flat. It has a ceiling rose and ornate plaster coving that I want removed, a crack all the way across the middle and paper that is lifting at the joins.
I'm after a really good finish, and having read other threads on the subject think reboarding over the existing ceiling then skimming seems a good approach. What I'm unsure of is that conventional advise suggests screwing new plaster board into the existing joist, however my ceiling doesn't have joists. It's a purpose built block of flats (built 1979) and the only time I drilled the ceiling I went through a layer of plaster straight into concrete.
I'd really appreciate some advise regarding what my options are.
Many thanks,
James
