Product to cover artex type walls in porch??

[loulou1971]

Hi, the walls and ceiling of my (exposed) front porch are a sort of artex/bobbled stone and my other half is wondering what the best way would be to cover it so it's a nice smooth finish we can use an exterior paint on....does anyone know if there's a product you can smooth over that's weatherproof and what kind of tradesman I would find to do it? A plasterer or a painter/decorator?? We could paint it so it's just really wanting to know how easy it is to do and what kind of tradesman to do the coverage.....many thanks in advance!

Great thanks!

Now to find a good plasterer in Manchester!

Had almost the whole house replastered a few months ago and my other half has spent the last month filling the myriad cracks that opened up a couple of weeks later....we did get them back to do the first few but they just slapped PVA over....so now I'm totally paranoid!
