    You can do, but to do it you should seek the advice of a structural engineer.

    The ceiling (or more correctly the ceiling joists) tie the roof/rafters togother and stop the roof spreading apart, so if you remove the ceiling/ceiling joists you are removing an important element of the roof structure.

    the only way to answer this categorically is to see first hand what the construction is at the moment.

    any chance of some pics?
