Just been to look at a house, which is up for sale, The first thing that
greets you is every ceiling is covered with polystyrene tiles including
one
wall in one of the bed rooms. Any one out there tried to remove theses
tiles. Or is it a question of over plaster boarding and skim ceiling and
try to remove tiles from wall. then skim over.


Personally, I'd rip them all off no matter the mess, then start afresh with
new plaster surfaces. Messy and time consuming job at the start, but when
you compare it to patching and matching, and the length of time it last
after being done properly. Then it does work out easier, and maybe cheaper,
to rip out and start again.

They're horrible things.
