What Does Artex Ceiling Removal Include?
Boarding Over and Plaster Overskimming
First things first, if your home was built before the year 2000 we recommend getting an Asbestos survey done. Customers are responsible for carrying out their own surveys using a reputable expert. Costs for Asbestos Surveys start from as little as £80.
Following this, and wearing suitable PPE, there are five ways in which Artex can be removed from your ceiling:
- Boarding over: This involves using plasterboard to board over the original Artex ceiling. Several layers of plaster are then applied to create an even surface.
- Plaster overskimming: Instead of using plasterboard it may be possible to simply seal with PVA and plaster over the old Artex.
- Complete removal: Not an easy solution, this method involves completely removing the Artex and original plasterboard. Service Not Offered.
- Chemical removal: A common chemical used is X-Tex. This gel softens the old Artex which can then be removed by scraping, leaving the old plasterboard exposed and ready for new plaster to be applied. Service Not Offered.
- Steaming: Here a wallpaper steamer can be used to soften the Artex, which can then be scraped away from the current plasterboard. Please note, you should not over soften the Artex or this will liquify and make a considerable mess. Service Not Offered.
Once it’s been removed, do not forget that Artex should be properly disposed of as hazardous waste. There may be an additional Artex asbestos removal cost due to this. Copyright CheckaTrader
Affordable and Popular Option
Can I Plaster Over Artex?
Boarding Over and Plaster Overskimming
An affordable and very popular option is to plaster over your current Artex. If taking this approach, we recommend you still get an asbestos survey and take proper precautions. First, it is important to flatten or remove any lumps, then the ceiling can be sealed using a PVA solution before plastering. Plastering over Artex is one of the most common requests nowadays, but is also one of the most difficult. This is why we always recommend getting an expert in to do the job! Copyright CheckaTrader

Solid plastering might not always be the best method for your project or budget. As experienced plasterers we offer a wide variety. of wet plaster and dry lining services.
Ceiling and Wall Skimming
Wall and Ceiling over Skimming is something we get asked to do a lot and is one of the most common requests for customers looking for a nice smooth wall. More often than not when removing old wallpaper the blemishes in your wall will become very visible. A 3 mm plaster skim finish over otherwise sound existing walls is an effective way to hide those unsightly blemishes and prepare the room for a final painting or papering.
