Default Lath & Plaster ceiling


"John" wrote in message
...
Got up the steps to patch some lifted wallpaper on a ceiling and found

that
it had lifted due the ceiling having dropped a bit. I am suspecting that
someone had put weight on the L & P at some time - or the nibs of plaster
have just failed over time.

I am wondering if there is a fix - such as generous squirts of No More

Nails
from above and then propping the sagged ceiling back up to the laths - or

do
I have to accept it is a lost cause and rip it all down (ugh the though of
the mess in the new bathroom!!) The insulation is that blown in recycled
newspaper stuff which would all need moving.

Just plasterboard over the existing ceiling.
