Do I need to use moisture resistant plasterboard on ceiling when wet plastering on top?
As per title: Do I need to use moisture resistant plasterboard on ceiling when wet plastering on top in bathroom? Vaulted ceiling has Insulation backed plasterboard that is not moisture resistant. It's all going to be skimmed in the near future. If it's going to be skimmed over, do I need to get someone to overboard it in green plasterboard before it's skimmed or not? Thanks guys!

Drywalling or plastering?
We are about to embark on a kitchen remodel on our new house, and stripped back the lovely paper that was on the walls and ceiling (!) to find chipped and cracked concrete with some plaster where the tiles were. Is it possible to plaster this, or would it be better to drywall? Thanks!

Lime Render vs Silicone Render
I live in a 3 bed semi with solid walls. We had an independent damp survey which revealed the walls are extremely damp. His recommendation is to hack off existing render and replace with lime render. A rendering company has recommended a silicone render on top of the existing render or external insulation with silicone render. I don't want to get this wrong so I would welcome any opinions/comments. Many thanks.
Ceiling cracks updated post
Thank you to everyone for your responses it's very much appreciated just for context the ceilings up stairs after solar went in the loft.... have said they will fill them with filler but won't guarantee that it won't shrink or crack again which Is no good I my opinion as I could be in the same position again in 6/12 months. Can these be repaired using filler or do they need repairing with full re-skim as I won't be papering them there going to be painted. I'm seeking advice as I have spoken to a couple of local plasterers who have said filler is a quick short term fix (bodge job that looks ok) but within a short period of time it will perish and crack again. They also said a proper fix would be rake out fill sand and tape then a full re-skim. Just looking for professional opinion Thanks in advance
How to cover Asbestos Artex
We have a few Artex ceilings that have been confirmed to contain asbestos. A local builder said he would overboard and then plaster and didn't seem too concerned about the asbestos. Would you not have to make holes to find the joists, disturbing the asbestos if you were to overboard? They said they wouldn't want to plaster directly on top because the current cracks will come through. I just wanted to get a 2nd opinion?

How can I tell how effective a fire-resistant plasterboard is?
How can I tell how effective a fire-resistant plasterboard is? Is there, perhaps a scale of how resistant they are to fire?
