Damaged Artex Ceiling

[basset]

hey guys

A family friend has asked me to repair there ceiling. i think its stipple paint (i havnt been over to have a look yet). They had a leak and in three places it has bubbled and peeled off. Is it ok to take it back so it is all solid then build up with some multi and then skim the whole ceiling as they want it flat after!or is it best to scrap all of it off then skim!?
thanks for your help!!

Don't bother trying to save time.it could come back and bite yer scrape it back play safe.

if its like a p'ss wet artex mix put on with a roller so it looks like soft stipple, it'll come off in seconds with a steamer...
