Removed polystyrene ceiling tiles and ceiling not great

[Dannyw1983]

Hi,

Please could anyone advise best course of action.

I have removed some ceiling tiles from a bedroom and there are a lot of cracks and a few damaged areas. And on the right side of bedroom some cracked areas the ceiling isn't level with rest of the room and looks likes it's dropped.

Can the ceiling be skimmed over?
Should it be overboarded and skimmed?
Whole room completely reboarded and skimmed?
Or dropped area in ceiling reboarded only and whole ceiling skimmed?

Thanks in advance

Overboard & skim.
Do it properly, do it once.
