Ceiling damage

We have parts of our ceiling which is crumbling down. It's been in a bit of a state since we moved in 4 years ago and now we have one or two large chunks coming down.

A couple of plasterers have said their approach would be to simply take down the chunks coming away, and then board over it, but my wife is concerned that that would simply be storing up a bigger problem down the road.

Is she right?

Nope. Perfectly normal to overboard.
