Hi Richard. If the artex is sound and not overly cracked then it’s cheaper to scrape it back and skim over it.

A room that size I would charge between £500-£600. (Estimate as I haven’t seen the job)

Craig · Answer

Yes that is right. Two plasterer two good day, fixing to a smooth plastered finish 350 pounds. All cleaning is pat of the job

It's easier to over board cellings to make the plastering easier and flater its just better for the plaster it want dry out on u when u over board

Sam · Answer

It is cheaper to just skim over the artex rather than board this is however providing the artex passes asbestos checks prior to any work carried out.

Hi Richard 

First of all if the ceiling is artexed you should be aware that artex may have asbestos in it (Health & Safety  101) it would be more cost effective to simply plaster over the artex .finish to the ceiling is based on the plasterer and the depth of the artex , although you should always be able to get a good finish fir painting.  Finally  cost dependent on depth of artex and condition of walls can be anywhere from £550  to £680 hope this helps

Gareth · Answer

cheaper to skim over the artex by far, overall price £350+

Jonathan · Answer

It isn't easy to plaster over the top of artex, and a lot less mess as well I would charge £750 for that
