Nice job there OP
What factors would make you take the ceiling down and replace with board as opposed to overboarding?
I took the ceiling down in my room at my mum's place about 12 years ago. Very messy job but it did feel quite clean putting up new board and knowing all that soot had gone. We have a room above my room so I didn't add any insulation.
We did the kitchen ceiling a few year back and removed the old board and it was horrifically messy. Ocerboarding is much cleaner. What factors would make you take the ceiling down and replace with board as opposed to overboarding?

Yep, I took one down at the weekend, 50 years of mouse st, wasp bikes, starling detritus, honeybee combs - ghastly! 4 inches of kingspan in though and getting palstered today, should be worth it!
Always better to get access from above, even lathe and plaster are not so bad if you can remove all the stuff and vacuum it from above first.Gassing Station | Homes, Gardens and DIY | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
