Is it possible to plaster over an asbestos ceiling & top of wall to make it flat or would the asbestos ceiling need to be completely removed first?

It would be cheaper to cover.area with plaster board so asbestos is not disturbed then plaster If you choose to remove asbestos make sure its done by a  qualified specialist and disposed of correctly.

Works well.
Or drop a new ceiling frame and plaster board

No, you can't just plaster over an asbestos ceiling. Asbestos is really dangerous, and if you disturb it, it can release harmful fibers into the air. Before you can do any plastering, the asbestos ceiling has to be completely removed by a licensed professional. They'll handle it safely and dispose of it properly. Only after that's done and the area is cleaned up can you think about applying new plaster. So, the asbestos ceiling needs to be removed first.

Colm · Answer

You can board over it and skim over the board much easier and cheaper than having it removed

Daniel · Answer

It depends on the type of asbestos if it’s white asbestos then you could overboard the ceiling and then skim, if it’s any other asbestos then it needs to be expertly removed.

Jack · Answer

You can either pay for asbestos removal  or technically you can plaster over it but it is way to risky, it can cause thd plaster to peel off and not bond or adhere to the ceiling, best bet is to overboard the ceiling
