When an old lath and plaster ceiling begins to fail, a full replacement is often the safest and most effective solution. For this project in Yate, Bristol, the existing ceiling had started to deteriorate and sections were falling away, so we removed it completely to ensure a high-quality, long-lasting finish.
After carefully taking down the old ceiling, we installed 50mm insulation to improve thermal performance before fitting new 12.5mm plasterboard throughout. The ceiling was then finished with two coats of premium finishing plaster, creating a smooth, durable surface ready for decorating.
The result is a strong, modern ceiling that not only looks great but will stand the test of time.
