Artex ceiling removal price questions

Still have a question?

How much does artex ceiling removal cost in Winchester?

Heath plastering and rendering charges from £350, confirmed on survey, not a lead-generation estimate.

Can Artex be removed or only covered?

Smoothing covers the texture with plaster so the ceiling becomes flat. It is the usual way to get a smooth finish from an Artex ceiling.

Will the pattern show through the new plaster?

No. The skim is built up over the texture and trowelled flat, so the pattern does not read through paint.

Do you smooth Artex on walls as well?

Yes. Textured walls are skimmed flat in the same way as ceilings.

How long before I can paint?

Once the plaster has dried to an even colour it can be sealed with a mist coat, then painted.
