The quote pays for the bonding coat, for the plaster that hides the bumps, and for a closed face that can take a seal. The quote changes if the bumpy area is larger, if the ceiling is higher, or if the ridges stand further out. A bumpy wall in the same Fareham room is quoted with the ceiling. - Artex removal and smoothing: from £350 - Ridges that stand well off a Fareham ceiling take more plaster in the dips than a faint pattern does, and that plaster is part of the quote. - The Fareham ceiling and each bumpy wall in that room share one quote when they are named together at Book Now. - The Fareham quote is for the coating already on the ceiling. Painting comes afterwards. Taking the ceiling down is another job. - Cracked boards behind the Fareham texture are a separate quote. The smoothing quote covers the coating we plaster over. ## Artex removal and smoothing across Fareham We serve Fareham from our base in Winchester. - Portchester - Titchfield - Stubbington - PO14 - PO15 - PO16 ## What happens on the day On the Fareham day for Artex removal and smoothing we read the bumps, lay sheets, brush a bonding coat, pack the dips with plaster and close the face with the trowel. Artex is the bumpy coating already on the ceiling or wall. The bonding coat is what lets the new plaster cling to that coating. We wait for a light even tone before any seal. ### Artex stipple, swirl and fan in Fareham We look at the Fareham ceiling first and name the Artex pattern. Stipple is the one made of small raised dots. A swirl is the one whose ridges curl. A fan is the one that opens out from a single point. We leave that pattern where it is. We put the new plaster over the top. ### Sheets on the floor for Fareham Artex We put sheets down over the Fareham floor before the plaster for that ceiling is mixed. Those sheets stay down until we have closed the face and taken the tools out. Next the bonding coat is brushed across every bump. The bonding coat is a thin brushed layer that gives the fresh plaster a hold on the Artex. ### Plaster over Artex in a Fareham room We work plaster into the dips on the Fareham ceiling until the ridges sit under a flat coat. Dots that stand proud take a thicker fill than a shallow curl. We then draw the trowel over the whole ceiling to close the surface. Where the ceiling meets the wall, we finish the coat square. We wipe the cornice clean so its line stays sharp. A cornice is the moulded length already fixed in that angle. ### Drying an Artex ceiling in Fareham New plaster on a Fareham ceiling goes on dark and turns light as it dries. We leave it until the tone matches from one edge to the other. We then seal it with a mist coat. A mist coat is a thin coat of emulsion loosened with water. The colour for the room goes over that seal. Decorating comes after the seal. ## Artex removal and smoothing in Fareham ### Does Heath plastering and rendering do Artex removal and smoothing in Fareham?
