Our kitchen ceiling is annoying, upon drilling holes for new spot lights we found the plasterboard was attached to an older solid wood ceiling. The kitchen is half in an extension with a mini pitched roof and we've decided to see how much insulation we can stuff in there so cut a hole in the solid wood ceiling to find...another ceiling, this time either plasterboard or thin wood and painted. So now we need to remove 3 bloody layers of ceiling, try and avoid all the new wiring and somehow fit new boards up there while balancing the wire on top.
When I moved into my place I got a company in to add a loft hatch and ladder and board over the loft.
Turns out the current ceiling is attached to the old lath and plaster ceiling with loads of metal strips and they had to hunt around to find a spot where they could fit a loft hatch between those
