A Smooth Finish
If your ceiling doesn’t have coving or a decorative cornice in place, the simplest thing to do is to cover it with plasterboard and skim, providing a perfect new ceiling, ready for decoration. If the ceiling is cracked but solid, I can plaster straight over the old by scrimming the cracks, applying adhesive, and skimming.
What Is Artex?
Commonly used in the 1980s, Artex is a product known for its decorative finish and its quick and easy application to cover up ceilings. However, some Artex contained asbestos, which is why it’s important to get a professional to check it if you’re thinking about renovating your ceiling.
In my experience, only a very small percentage of Artex ceilings have contained asbestos, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. In any case, Artex is also a very easy product to skim over. Backed by years of experience in this service, I will simply and safely scrape back the ceiling, apply two coats of adhesive and skim smoothly for you.
