Why does my Ceiling paint peel off?

Ive stripped my bedroom ceiling to the bare plasterboard as the paint was peeling off, and re-painted it with ceiling paint, but the paint is cracking and peeling off again. Any ideas why?Why does my Ceiling paint peel off?
The ceiling needs sealing first before final painting. Seal with a diluted emulsion paint. A bit messy so cover everything first. Then paint as normal. Also the ceiling above might be cold and this migh cause a problem as the cold surface will allow moisture to condense on it and this section might be permanently damp. Not dripping but slightly damp. Be sure that the loft is well insulated over this troublesome ceiling.


I have been a decorator for 30 years and this is a common problem.Why does my Ceiling paint peel off?
its quite simple really , youve got to get the monkeys with sledge hammers out of the ceiling BEFORE you paint it , if youre thinking i dont have monkeys maybe its an elephant with a tooth ache.............. or burgalers ,,,,,,,,,,, OR ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is your boiler in your loft above your room??


if so then that will be why your paint is coming away, because it may be getting damp and working away at the paint, i dont know though.. its just a suggestion.
You need to seal the plaster board first
