I'm in the process of having my home replumbed and what to repair rather than replace the existing textured ceilings that are common to all the ceilings in my home.

Problem: not sure of the method used to create this style of textured ceiling - it's like a cake frosting (see images below). Any help in identifying the method used would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Welcome to the forums!

It looks like it's thinned down joint compound applied with a shaggy roller - slid across the drywall.

Thanks. Makes sense to me now.
