I hate my ceiling - Help

Nightmare ceiling ? I sympathize, I have been repainting an office block, which involves emulsion ceilings and wall, gloss up bla bla. I have sucsessfully done the main office and reception area no problem, 
but as soon as I started emulsioning the kitchen ceiling the artex ( I think its artex) started bubbling and peeling off. 
I have had to scrape it all off. 
The first layer came of like skin leaving a powdery layer underneath. The only problem is, all of it didnt all come of leaving an uneven surface which looks terrible. The ceiling will now have to be re-artexed. 
I thought maybe it was distemper but it appears the whole office block was new build in 2005 so this is hardly the case. Why is the problem only with this ceiling and not the others. 
Could the problem be the mix or application of the artex when it was applied?
