The customer is trying to keep cost down as much as possible so looking for solutions for these ceilings without over boarding preferably.
Any advice welcome

Second thoughts finish with a bit of cement in, easy fill take to long to go off, out the door in 1/2 hour
 
It's got significant cracks and it's got flakey paint all over it, don't think I'll be able to just skim it to be honest

Cracks mean movement so anything you do will crack, short of overbaording of course. Spread 95 has the right idea, some of the paints are really quite flexible.
Just accept that the cracks will slowly re-appear and a new cost of paint and filler in a few years time.
 
You touch it you own it. That's a state... Prepare to work hard and get a phone call to say come and fix cracks for free. One days labour and a few sheets of plasterboard is out of reach for customer then that's not your problem. Run!
 
Leave that one mate, if he won’t pay to overboard being as it’s on lath and plaster and could fall down or just crack again when he will be on the phone to you telling you that you should put it right out of your own pocket, then it really isn’t worth talking to him
 
Got over-boarding written all over it .for what you would pay for easifill and pva you could board it. Not a Mr Patel is it who wants the job done for nothing that would be a surprise.

Paint it for £100 plus £15 pot of contract Matt.

Then run.

Or tell customer to f**k off.
 
Dangerous too. You don’t want old lath and plaster falling down in your head!
seen that happen a few times over the years where some clueless chancers come along and re-skimmed directly onto lath n plaster and it's come down..... and I bet there's fkin idiots around that still do it now
