I have been given the unfortunate task of potentially plastering a few artex ceilings (about 4m x 4m) for a relative. House is one of these paper built taylor wimpy/barratt types done in the 90's (doesn't even have coving on). The artex looks like it's got some kind of satin paint on
I'm going to remove a ceiling rose and pop in bug eyes to make it look bigger (walls only 2.2m high). Am I better off plastering on top, or ripping the lot down (or using one of these ready made solutions that 'paints' on top for a smooth finish)?
Last time I did a small hallway ceiling Lurpak was very helpful in instructing me what to do (my own house). My back went halfway through, and I ended up using the magic powers of easifill and a drywall sander.
