Just got off the phone talking to our son and he wants to remove a suspended ceiling and put up a replacement one that will accommodate the spotlights that he wants to fit. To do this, he is proposing to secure a piece of wood to the wall and then fasten pieces of wood at 90 degrees to them, to create a new framework to fasten plasterboard to. How big should the cross pieces be?
He reckons that when he removes his old suspended ceiling, he will encounter artex on the original ceiling. Now I know nothing about suspended ceilings, other than you can hide lights behind them. What are his options?
