Aha, well that would be the serious grown up thing to do but it’s a lot of mess and would require us to empty the room. I had in mind a temporary fix pending later demolition, so was just wondering about those washer things.

We have a sagging lath and plaster ceiling with a big split in it. It may last a few more weeks. In the longer term we are going to smash through it with a new staircase so we are looking at a short term fix. Does anyone know how feasible it is to use plaster repair washers of the sort they use in Murica, where you put 100 of them into the ceiling to lift the plaster back to the laths, and where I can find them in the UK?

Here is one I dug up this morning
There’s lots of horse hair around our house. Not just in the plaster. There’s a weird void above the bread oven that has fistfuls of the stuff in it. Presumably left there by a plasterer centuries ago.
