  • Any mileage in attacking it from the ceiling below? Kinda feels like cutting out a wedge of plaster then doing the work from underneath might actually be easier. Ceiling finish is shite too so a bit of money spent fixing that up wouldn't be quite so bad as a whole new floor just to move a radiator.

    (it's possible the ceiling isn't original, it's been deprived of any texturing and decoration. But then there's a chance it might be lath and plaster in which case, no dice.)

  • Don't forget to anticipate a load of crap coming down with the ceiling -deliberately added ashey stuff for mass as well as randomly accumulated crap that's fallen through the floorboards over the decades.

  • Yeah it's going to be very unpleasant I think. Will cover everything and seal the room when we do it.
