Plastering a quarter of a ceiling?

Question

Hello,

I am knocking down a stud wall between a store room and a bedroom to make it bigger.
The bedroom ceiling is smooth and in good condition whereas my storeroom is artex.
Basically I want to know when the wall is down would the entire ceiling of thr combined rooms have to be plastered, or could just the new quater be plastered? 

Thank you

No, you could just plaster over the Artex and blend it into the bedroom ceiling. So once painted will look like 1 big ceiling.
No need to re-plaster the bedroom ceiling if in good condition.
Hope this helps

Hi, it's easy for a plasterer to skim the ceiling and blend it into the existing smooth ceiling, so as there won't  be any visible signs of where one ceiling starts

Craig · Answer

The section could be patched but for the best results I would suggest plastering the whole ceiling

Lee · Answer

Hi ideally the whole ceiling could be skimmed in one but you can patch the area to blend with the existing ceiling many regards lee

Leon · Answer

This depends on the way the ceiling is, but a good plasterer can sort it and blend it in

Hi Emily, being a plasterer as long as there isn't too much of a discrepancy between the 2 ceiling levels, you would be able to plaster just the Artex and feather it to nothing so no filling is required, I have done this many times so as it can't be noticed

Craig · Answer

As others have said yes in theory you can patch and feather into the existing ceiling. But for me pva the whole lot first coat with a couple of handfuls of bonding in the skim, second coat, trowel up to smooth Matt finish.

Would be ok to just plaster the ceiling that is Artex, and blend into the existing ceiling that is smooth, good plasterer should be able to do that, hope this helps. Thanks

For best results I’d plaster whole ceiling, make good any damaged areas where wall had been removed pva and plaster ceiling complete.

Ryan · Answer

The small section could easy be patched up but is a chance of cracking over time, for the best results if get it re skimmed

Shane Lee · Answer

A good plasterer should be able to make good, if not a very big ceiling just be easier to re-plaster

Konrad · Answer

What I suggest,  plastering the whole ceiling and than will be looks much better

Dylan · Answer

Hi Emily the section could be patched over and re-plastered but it would better if you just re-plaster the whole thing 👍
