    Cost of replacing lath ceiling and basic cornice

    Hi, I have a lathe and plaster ceiling that has been wallpapered and painted over, the paper is peeling and it looks awful. I don’t know if it’s even worth attempting to get the paper off or if the ceiling will need to come down regardless. Roughly how much would you charge to remove it and replace? It is 3.5m X 5m and 2.5 m high.
