Artex Ceiling

[gogomollie]

Been asked to do an artex ceiling (never done one before)

The artex is not that thick or lumpy so whats best way round to getting the job done?

Also the house is an 1930's house so the room is pretty big so does anyone have a price range that i can go off?

Cheers

brush wickes bondit on in the evening. Come morning, get a thin coat of bonding on if it needs it, then skim as usual.

pricing? depends on lots of factors...

Unless it's painted. If so, insert "go for full breakfast and slowly read the daily sport" between "bucket," and "pva"
