When we bought our present house it was a mortgage repo and needed decoration top to toe. And it got it.
The then current fashion 'must have' was artexed ceilings. Managed to dissuade her from artex on the walls, thank goodness but she managed to get all (and I mean ALL) roofs done in a 4 bed house....).
Question is, looks fine in bedrooms and toilets and stuff, but the lounge/dining room needs re-decorated overall. Would it be easier but messier to remove plasterboard roofing panels in entirety or knock biggest lumps off and simply place new boards on top of existing? House is 1960's ex-council stylee - big rooms but bog standard ceiling height - so, what does the group experience of OOF recommend?
I know what I intend to do but interested in the 'professional'/experienced DIY type comments...
