My house currently has artexed walls in the hall, landing and stairs. I want to have the walls plastered/skimmed for a more modern look
The artex has been on for a long time, i'd say 20 years or so.
I have searched the internet and found 3 options, plasterboard, remove artex and plaster over existing artex
With plasterboarding, how much space would I lose and is it worth doing. I know it wont be much but my hall stairs and landing are small enough as it is. Then there would be the removal of light switches, alarm keypad etc
I have seen mentioned a product called T Tex that is meant to remove the dreaded stuff, I would give that a go myself and see what conditions my walls are in
What is the opinion of the plasterers on here, what sort of costs are involved in each method. pro cons etc
I was going to have a go at it myself but I will prob leave it to the pros now
