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.

Definitely the cleanest option, probably the preferred option if the
room has just been finished.

I'd always prefer to take the old ceiling down where possible but it
sounds as if it could be a non-starter here.
