Also you'd be wise to put some spacers along the joists which are showing,
otherwise the p/b will have a gap above it in that spot, some strips of p/b
will suffice and also make the job easier.


As the damaged section is fairly small, I've been thinking maybe to
patch it in, then use a skim over both the old artex and the new
plasterboard.
