Plastering & Rendering
Artex ceiling to plaster or to remove
John Adams Pogoy 22/10/2026 - 11.25 AM
I just bought a flat probably built in 1960 and i want to modernize it a bit room by room. I just found out that artex or asbestos were usually used or mixed in ceilings for houses or flats built before 2000. My ceiling has this textured like surface do i assume its artex? And if it is can i just get a plasterer to plaster or skim the entire ceiling and its all done? Or do i have to. Board it instead? It also has this older ceiling skirting - what if i want that replaced with something modern - what can i do if i want to do this as well. Need advice.
