Artex plaster - hairline cracks
Are hairline cracks in an artex ceiling something to be concerned about. They have, apparently been there for years and would polyfilla work?
Rendering in winter
Hello, Can my house be rendered in the winter?
Do I need to use moisture resistant plasterboard on ceiling when wet plastering on top?
As per title: Do I need to use moisture resistant plasterboard on ceiling when wet plastering on top in bathroom? Vaulted ceiling has Insulation backed plasterboard that is not moisture resistant. It's all going to be skimmed in the near future. If it's going to be skimmed over, do I need to get someone to overboard it in green plasterboard before it's skimmed or not? Thanks guys!
Thistle Hardwall Advice
So, I've got a wall in my hallway that's back to brick. I'm going to hardwall directly onto the bricks but I'm stuck with that I do when it comes to the window. The windows are being replaced but i presume it would be better to do the hardwalling and plastering before the windows go on? Do i put some angle bead on to the brick and then apply the hardwall or the other way around? Then do i do the internal edge around the window before the windows or should i do the main wall then do the internal edge once the new windows are in? Any advice on the process i should be following would be great! Thanks
advice on plastering Artex ceiling as a long-term solution
I have several Artex ceilings in my house and I'd like to freshen things up. I've read that plastering over Artex is one way to 'get rid of it'. I'd like to know if this is a long-term solution or will I need to replace the Artex ceilings eventually?
Skimming over Artex 2023
How much per sqm would skimming over Artex cost these days? To include cost of materials. I have a hundred and five sqm house with 4 bedrooms, two bathrooms, dining room, living room kitchen, utility room, hallway, staircase - all ceilings are with Artex. House was built in late 90's I expect it's more than I think...

What’s the best way to remove artex from walls?
Hello all, A property I have bought recently has thick artex across most walls and some ceilings. It has been tested for asbestos and received a negative result, thankfully. I would like to have most of these walls replastered over time and have the artex removed. Having tried a steamer and some sanding options, I’ve not been too successful. What would be the best option for me to remove all the artex while keeping the mess under control?
Render repair or complete re render
Can render be repaired. I have some areas of render which is coming off, does it all have to be re-rendered or could it be repaired. I feel that a builder wouldn’t want to repair and therefore it would be a costly job to have the front and side of house re done. Will take advice off expert.
