    Even before Ukraine, and taking into account the recent increase in Kerosene prices, I now recken it is going to be cheaper to heat with Kero than it is with mains gas....if the domestic gas rates catch up to the spot market in gas.

    Kerosene c2 heating oil now 92p ltr.

    If its reasonably flat and the joists are sound, board straight over it using longer screws than usual to fix them. Get some adjustable plasterboard props which will let you crank any sagging areas back up as you fix the boards. Then get it skimmed. I did this several times in my last house with no issues. (I also tore down lath and plaster ceilings in my previous house, and its not a pleasant job). As you are essentially adding to the mass of the ceiling you also get more sound insulation. Heat insulation should be done above the existing ceiling in the loft space.

    Done many a ceiling like this with 65mm screws and plasterboard.Check the joists,it's quite common to find that they have dropped out of any fixing they had to rafters and the whole lot could come down.

    If you decide to take it all down then use a water most system to drop the dust.

    I had crushed nerves in my back,nearly ten years later I got knocked over,big crunch in my back and pain was gone,never knew I was in that much pain till it went.

    So there is hope.

    Shortages or delays on a lot of materials at present and prices only going up,so much work coming in, busiest I've been in 21 years since starting company, am well behind and not even returning quotes at present.

    Labour shortages mean hourly rates rising nicely.An estate agent here only had one property on their books unsold,madness.
