We have a sagging lath and plaster ceiling with a big split in it. It may last a few more weeks. In the longer term we are going to smash through it with a new staircase so we are looking at a short term fix. Does anyone know how feasible it is to use plaster repair washers of the sort they use in Murica, where you put 100 of them into the ceiling to lift the plaster back to the laths, and where I can find them in the UK?
Never used them but for a short term fix I'd plasterboard and then tape and joint the plasterboard followed by paint. Cheaper than skimming and if you get the correct plasterboard you should be able to tape and joint yourself.
