sheet via the loft if permitting, this would then lessen the clearing u=

presume you basically go in the loft, roll back the insulation and kick t=

By far the best way - otherwise you're standing under it as you pull it=20
down. You'll still have to remove some bits of lath and nails from=20
below, but most of the plaster will be gone by then. Most of the nails=20
will probably come out with a hammer and bolster rather than using=20
pincers or a claw hammer on each one, and any broken ones can just be=20
hammered flat. You will probably be surprised at how much rubble you=20
have created.
