tbh im not interested in skimming over the ceiling and wouldnt really wanna put my name to it as you can see how brittle the plaster it on the walls the ceilings are the done using the same method just scraping that artex raises a load of issues with the asbestos which on confident it with contain and and the damage to the sand/lime tbh over boarding is the only way (bar removing) i would plaster any of it and im sure a few guys will say the same
as for the walls i would knock the plaster off and pull all the larves off and board that to just by looking at the pics i can see the lime /sand and lime base finish heres a quick test you can do lick your finger and rub the white finish and then look at you finger it will be white where the finish has broken down when you pva it the cirifite/distemper will absorb the water in the pva and will form a skin which will just peel
i would still strongly advise you to board the ceilng looking at the pics i can see that ceiling is far from straight so more than likley its blown in a few places with the buildings movement
if you think about how much ball ache it will save you in the end reskimming it would be a risk and if it paid of then great but they if it doesnt then you'll be pulling the lot off (whats left) and paying out all over again it could be a week or it could be 5 years but if you tack its perminant its your basicly using the board to clamp the sand and lime back up behind it
im always happy to advise especially another passionford member if you want to have ago on your own let me know and i'll get you on the right track

All depends on what you want to do Dave. An 1880's cottage imo should be lath and plastered, not boarded.
When we do refurbs of post war brick built semis etc that have lath and plaster walls we do remove the laths and board n skim, but in that cottage id be keeping it authentic personally. It will cost you more though.

Thanks Ben, Ive got a guy booked in for this coming weekend. He reckons he can plaster the whole bedroom, and celiling. And also skim all the hallway and second bedroom ceilings in a weekend.
£200 per day I buy the materials. ( he reckons 6 bags of multi finish and 2 bonding) plus some PVA
also .. took some floorboards up on the 3rd floor and found this.. perfectly preserved skeleton! you can see the intact tiny claws etc...

couldnt be arsed reading the rest of the thread, but we had our ceilings replastered as we had artex before..had to scrape the ceiling with a wide razor blade to get the rough off, then plastered over.
that is all.
that is all.

I've got the first film on DVD, but not seen the second.
Thing I didn't like about the Movie was it was aimed semi at people who had not seen it before. So it spent the first half introducing all the characters and there traits. Plus the picture quality increases, which kinda runied it

room has gone from this
to this (skirting, architraves etc still to be installed)
but one of the walls needs serious soundproofing!

Yep, got the dining table etc etc to match too
that TV unit and TV was in the front room at our Greenwich house but was too big for our new front room (1800's cottage) so its been relegated / upgraded to the 3rd floor loft room (stroke) Daves playroom!
had to get all new furniture, TV etc etc
