Refinishing a 1960's ceiling
Discussion
I live in a bungalow built in the mid 1960s. The ceilings are made from some kind of compressed fibre board, nailed to the joists. The joints between the boards are covered with half-round wood mouldings.
This looks very dated, so I want to redo the ceilings with a smooth plaster finish.
Can I just remove the wood strips, fill and tape the joints, then get a plasterer to skim? Or do I need to remove the boards and replace with plasterboard?
