A larger textured area moves the price. A taller ceiling moves the price. Ridges that stand higher move the price. Walls in that room with the same coating are included. We arrive at the booked time. The price given for that room stays the same. - Artex removal and smoothing: from £350 - A Basingstoke ceiling with tall ridges takes a heavier build of plaster than a light texture. That heavier build sits in the price. - A ceiling and the textured walls in that Basingstoke room share one price. - This price is for plaster over the coating that is already there. We do not take the ceiling down. - Boards that have cracked under the coating carry their own price. Painting carries its own price too. ## Artex removal and smoothing across Basingstoke We serve Basingstoke from our base in Winchester. - Brighton Hill - Chineham - Hatch Warren - Kempshott - RG21 - RG22 - RG23 - RG24 ## What happens on the day The raised coating stays on the Basingstoke ceiling. We plaster over it on the day. We give the coating a grip first. We fill the hollows after that grip coat. We close the face flat before we finish. Paint waits until the fresh plaster is a light shade all the way across. ### Textured ceilings in Basingstoke We check the raised coating in the Basingstoke room before the plaster is mixed. That coating is called Artex. Dots in the coating are called stipple. Curved ridges are called a swirl. Lines that spread from one point are called a fan. Taller ridges need a thicker build of plaster. The ceiling stays where it is. ### Artex ready for plaster in Basingstoke We lay covers across the flooring in the Basingstoke room before mixing starts. Dropped plaster lands on the covers. We brush a preparatory layer over the raised coating. That layer is called a bonding coat. It gives fresh plaster a hold. A wall with the same coating in that room gets the layer too. ### Flat plaster over Artex in Basingstoke We work plaster into each low part of the Basingstoke ceiling. The thin coat we finish with is called a skim. More of that coat goes where the pattern still sticks up. A final pass with the trowel shuts the surface. The ceiling looks flat in the light. Each wall gets a clean stop. The shaped length along the ceiling line is called a cornice. We stop the plaster against a cornice that is already up. ### Drying and paint after Artex in Basingstoke We leave the new coat alone on the Basingstoke ceiling until the shade is even from edge to edge. We apply the mist coat with a brush after that. A mist coat is emulsion with water mixed through it. The mist coat seals the plaster. You can put colour on after the seal. Wallpaper is separate from this smoothing. Cracked boards under the coating are a separate repair. ## Artex ceilings in Basingstoke ### Can you smooth an Artex ceiling in Basingstoke?
