Is it possible to put ply up and then prep and paint ? Is that a thing ? In my last house we redid the ceilings with gib . This was expensive , and it was a wee house of only 60 m .

What are the ceilings clad with at the moment ? One of the the rooms here had an old soft board ceiling, when we removed it a beautiful rimu T&G original ceiling was revealed.

The ceilings are either pinex or hardboard and held up with battens . Ugly and stained from former roof leaks . Roof now repaired . Not sure what is underneath at this stage !

the pinex or ply will probably be over the original ceiling, a lot of times it was done to "modernise" the old fashioned ceiling, you will need to pull the old stuff off and see whats there

Yes sounds promising, remove the ugly stuff and have a look before you decide.

Open your roof space trapdoor, enter said roof space and look at ceiling from that side. This way you can see what's underneath the current ceiling lining.
