Yes, we were already having the whole house replastered due to all the chasing.
We had an asbestos survey before hand, which confirmed the celings and found a whole load of high content tiles and one pure asbestos board above the front door.
Now if we ever sell the house we can show the report that we had it all removed and the board above the door has been fully and, safely, encapsulated. I think people may be a bit funny about buying a house which they knew had asbestos, but now we can truthfuly say its been resolved.Removing the celings does give you the advantage of being able to rethink your celing lighting options too
Another option is to have a false ceiling put in, but this only an option if you have high enough celings - which ours weren't.

Appreciate. Whole ceiling down and then reboard/skim? Did you have it done?
Even removing wallpaper with a steamer has started off the edges peeling down, so doesn’t look like it would be an awful process - more worries about intangible future lung damage.
