My house has plenty of skeilings and as part of our remodelling of the entire house, we are able to remove a few of them in rooms new rooms will be created with new walls going up into the loft or 2nd floor extension which will enable us to remove them.
However, generally speaking, am I right in thinking that unless you:
a) change the pitch of the roof above, or
b) have a square a new square wall abutting the skeiling;
it is not possible to remove the skeiling and have high square walls in the room? See my pics below.
This one my wife really wants to have removed from our bedroom as we have a low height ceiling as it is.
I guess in this photo below, we can remove the skeilings because the wall enables us to do so. The joists for the loft extension from the 1980s that you see will need to be replaced anyway because the previous owner badly notched into them such that an RSJ is two thirds into the joists.
