Can anyone give me some advice for plastering my kitchen ceiling so I can cover the textured stippling effect? I'm guessing give it a quick scrape with a scraper to remove any high bits , pva and then skim with multi finish?

Depending how deep the stippling is but a decent plasterer will be able to go straight over the top of it

Skimming is dead easy ifthe base is consistant.
Not necessarily flat just consistantly uneven. How deep is the stippling?
You can mix in fine sand with the pva to form a key.
Not a plasterer so ignore if a wettrader pipes up.
That looks perfect for just skimming over. Don't see how pva will improve anything there unless its porous?

If it's Artex or similar, you could scrape the high bits off, then smooth it all over with a wet sponge, no need to plaster if it's sound.

TBH, if you want a proper job you should have it overboarded then skimmed. You can flat down, PVA and then skim but you don't know how good the key is to the original.
