I have a 1960's house and in one of the bedrooms there has been a roof leak at some stage and the ceiling has some kind of paper over the board, which is peeling - i have no idea what this 'paper' is or what kind of board would have been used in a 1960's house. Ideally as the board has mould on it so would like to replace. Any ideas on what the board would be? and how thick it would be? cheers

Possibly fibrous plaster and its been papered over for the paint finish. Our house is 1969/70 and that's whats on ours. As we replace we do it with gib board. We found a leak in the ceiling after the earthquakes, which was when work stopped, and we had to pay for the repair of it all, then the painting continued.

Some times the ceilings were wall papered with anaglyptic paper to hide any bumps etc. I have seen it done so it may be that,and the paper is coming off.

As it is a 60's house I'm guessing it has a ceiling light. Take off the light fitting, there will be a hole for the wiring.You will be able to see the thickness and type of material that the ceiling consists of

Plasterboard as distinct from fibrous plaster sheet has been made in NZ since 1925. By 60's why not a conventional gib ceiling?

We have a 1958 brick and tile (and rimu timber) house we have fibrous plaster ceilings - some with beautiful cornices - and our kitchen ceiling has embossed anaglypta wall paper on it which was there when we moved into it in 1972 we have painted over many times - but starting to peel off now.
