I am looking for the group's thoughts on the best course of action for this ceiling in my home.

It's a Edwardian terraced townhouse built circa 1915. The ceiling is in a bedroom with loft space above. I would've expected this ceiling to be lath and plaster, but feeling down through insulation between the joists above, it is solid board that I am feeling - so I am not sure if this is perhaps non-original?

I have started to have a few local plasterers in to look at how to repair it, and lots of different things are being proposed, but it generally seems to be boiling down to one of the following (in order of complexity and cost):

• Option A: Just skim it - but this is likely to crack again
• Option B: Push mesh sheeting over the ceiling and then skim it
• Option C: Screw plasterboard over the top and then skim it and join it in at the coving
• Option D: Pull it all down, re-insulate between the joists above, fit plasterboard, skim, and then fit a new reproduction Edwardian cornice

I have no idea what is the right thing to do so let me know your thoughts please! Option B is seeming like a good balance at the moment...
[/QUOTE
Its been overboard before ?, Hence the moulding 8’ in from the cornice, is there a step there already?

 

[superspread]

I’d board it. Can just leave a gap between boards and coving and fill in with bonding View attachment 53208View attachment 53209

Like your style Jess!
