I had thought about overboarding too, but not sure about the added weight.
The kitchen and living room may actually be artex, so not sure about them.

Why should the weight be an issue? It's only plasterboard you're putting up. If there is artex there is an outside chance that there is a low level asbestos in it. Overboarding would be the easiest solution to this.

Woodchip, steamer, steamer (worth every penny) and lots of hard work. Good luck. Be prepared to have to get a plasterer in there to skim over, as them walls are never good.

Remove the wood chips with a scraper then use the steamer.

We had the same in our new place, spent half of last Sat with a steamer , that triangle scorer thing that someone else mentioned and got about half a wall done all morning, was a nightmare! Ended up paying two labourers £1200 to do it for us. Ours is a huge. 5 bed detached with 14 foot ceilings though.
