Right so all my ceilings have some moody artex effect and have since noticed that it's started to crack where to floor joists are. I've also noticed now that it's been repaired before.

What do you do to patch it up?

If I had the money I'd have it skimmed but I don't so I won't.

Can you stick up 3mm board and staple it into the joists and paint over it. Remember to cut a hole for the light fittings if you've a pendent?

Much cheaper and with a bit of filler to cover the tiny joins in the boards you should have a smooth flat ceiling?
