Best way to rectify this?

[mike mcc]

Hello,
After some advice, I am a complete novice at interior DIY (vehicles are my thing).

Had to rip out a section of the bedroom to remedy a roof leak, it was plastered and plasterboarded with a tile board nailed to the timber. Under that was the old timber for lathe and plaster which is now gone.
now looking for the best way to get this back to normal.
I have attached a pic (hopefully it will show)
Could it just be a simple job of boarding it over with 3.5mm ply and then plasterboarding over an a skim?

Or if I'm way off please let me know.

Cheers all.

Was it leaking from a valley - & was the leak(s) fixed?

I cant make out what the angled board is - is it a sloping soffit?

What is "tile board" - is this a bathroom or a wet area?

Given the various slants & angles and the "textured" ceiling you might be better off with a plasterer coming on site.

Dont forget to renew the insulation to how it was.

It's a front bedroom with the valley that had a leak, the whole valley lead has been replaced and the valley boards and new timbers where the old had rotted away.

I don't mind having to take off the rest of the slanted textured part and only leave the ceiling textured.
Just need to know best way to get it preped ready for plaster.

You could remove the slanting board completely, and pin new board to the wall(s) and the soffit/ceiling.
Dont remove any more laths just fix the p/board over them.
Do the ceiling/soffit first then the wall(s).
I prefer to tape odd angles with paper tape but you can also use self adhesive tape.
Make sure that all your edges land on a stud or joist and use screws or clout nails.
