Artex removal and smoothing price in Andover
The price for Artex removal and smoothing in Andover pays for the bonding coat, the plaster that fills the pattern, and a flat face ready for paint. A wider textured area, a higher ceiling or a deeper pattern changes the price. Textured walls named with the ceiling are included for that room. The visit is on time, and the smoothing stays to the price you were given.
From £350
Included
- Preparing the Artex so plaster grips
- Skim coats built up over the texture
- Trowelling to a flat finish

- A bold swirl needs more plaster than a faint pattern, and that extra plaster is inside the Andover price.
- The ceiling and any textured walls in the same Andover room are priced as one job when you Book Now.

- Cracked boards under the texture are a repair of their own, priced apart from the smoothing. Painting follows the mist coat.

What happens on the day
On an Artex removal and smoothing day in Andover we protect the floor, brush on a bonding coat, fill the hollows and leave the plaster until it dries pale. A bonding coat is a preparatory layer that gives the raised coating a grip. A mist coat, emulsion thinned with water, goes on once the plaster is an even pale shade.
- Floor covers during Artex smoothing in AndoverWe spread covers over the flooring before the Artex plaster is mixed in the Andover room. Those covers stay down for the whole smoothing. We have prepared a textured hallway ceiling for smoothing while the floor stayed protected. We have plastered a ceiling above a kitchen that remained covered throughout.
- Bonding coat for stipple, swirl and fanWe look over the Artex in the Andover room and brush a bonding coat across it. The bonding coat gives fresh plaster a grip on the raised coating. Stipple is the dotted texture. A swirl is the curved texture. A fan is the spreading texture. The pattern remains on the ceiling, under the new plaster.
- Plaster built over the raised patternWe press plaster into the hollows until the Andover ceiling stands level. A deep stipple needs more plaster than a faint swirl. The last stroke of the trowel closes the face. Light across the ceiling then shows one plane. We finish that coat neatly at the wall and at any cornice, the moulded strip where the wall meets the ceiling.
- Pale plaster before paint in AndoverWe wait until the fresh plaster on the Andover ceiling shows the same pale shade from edge to edge. The mist coat then seals the plaster before any colour. Colour paint for the room comes after that seal.
