Ceiling buldge (under woodchip paper)

[erol_flow]

I've had a poke around investigating the firmness of the ceiling and all feels good.

I'd like to take the woodchip off and have it natural... but that budgle... it is firm... what should I make of it? Its right where the fireplace upstairs would have been too...

I assume like much of the rest of the house it's a traditional lime, and some of the walls are crumbly... is there anything else I should consider before going ahead and taking the paper off?

That looks familiar. Worth having a look under the carpet and floorboards upstairs. I found a fireplace hearth made of brick supported only by the lathe ceiling. The fireplace was unused so I removed all the heavy bricks.

Thanks! Yes checked it, full of strange blown concrete rubble with bits of brick, I've removed it all.

I think I'm ready to start peeling the woodchip ceiling wallpaper
