If your home was built or decorated in the 1970s or 80s, the chances are that you\u2019ve got at least one artex ceiling<\/a>. They\u2019re basically textured ceilings, usually with round or dimpled patterns. Artex is actually the name of a product, but the term is used to describe ceilings made with other, similar products.<\/p>\n

Although many people keep their artex ceilings, lots of homeowners decide to remove or cover them. To do this you can plaster over your artex ceiling, replace it or create a false ceiling.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how to work out what\u2019s the best option for you:<\/p>\n

Find out if it contains asbestos<\/h3>\n

\"\"Before you do any work on your artex ceiling, you need to find out if it contains asbestos. If you know that it was built sometime after 1999, don\u2019t worry, it won\u2019t contain asbestos. But if it was built before this date, there\u2019s a high chance that it might. This is because asbestos used to be an essential part of artex ceilings before the UK government outlawed it in 1999.<\/p>\n

If you think your ceiling might contain asbestos, you need to get it tested. Make sure you find a testing professional who\u2019s UKAS<\/a>-accredited to do this \u2013 that way you\u2019ll know they\u2019re safe and competent. To get asbestos testing quotes<\/a> from up to 4 accredited professionals, just fill in the form below.<\/p>\n

What to do if your artex ceiling contains asbestos<\/h3>\n

Removing an artex ceiling that contains asbestos isn\u2019t 100% essential if you can find a way to cover it without damaging it. However, most processes, like putting plaster over your artex ceiling, will involve scraping or weakening it in some way. This could expose harmful asbestos fibres and release them into the air, which is very dangerous.<\/p>\n

So, if you want to do work on your artex ceiling and find out that it contains asbestos, it\u2019s best to get it removed by licensed professionals<\/a>. If you\u2019re looking for local asbestos removal quotes<\/a>, then we can help find you a the right professional for the work.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also worth remembering that if you don\u2019t want to pay for an asbestos professional to remove your ceiling, you don\u2019t have to. As long as it\u2019s in good condition and you leave it alone then it should be safe. But you will<\/em> have to accept that your artex ceiling is here to stay.<\/p>\n

Should you replace or plaster over your artex ceiling if it doesn\u2019t contain asbestos?<\/h3>\n

If your artex ceiling doesn\u2019t contain asbestos, you\u2019re free to decide how best to tackle it. There are 3 main options to choose from:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Scrape and skim<\/h5>\n

If your ceiling isn\u2019t too thickly textured, you can scrape off the protruding pattern as much as you can. Then cover it with a couple of layers of PVA and skim a coat of plaster over the top. Plastering the ceiling can be a bit more tricky than walls, if you don’t feel confident enough to do this yourself then get quotes from local plasters<\/a> within hours using Quotatis.<\/p>\n

2. Create a false ceiling<\/h5>\n

Another option is to create a false ceiling below your existing one and cover it with plasterboard. This is a good option if your ceiling is too thickly textured to skim over.<\/p>\n

3. Remove and replace<\/h5>\n

If skimming isn\u2019t an option and you don\u2019t want to reduce your ceiling height, a third approach is to completely remove your artex ceiling and replace it. This will probably be more expensive than your other options but can turn out to be the best long-term solution. If you looking to remove the ceiling then get quotes for new plasterboard ceiling<\/a> from up to 4 local professionals.<\/p>\n

So, if you\u2019re not sure whether you should plaster over your artex ceiling, follow these steps and you should get the answer. If you\u2019re still unsure what to do, get in touch with a plasterer for advice and quotes.<\/p>\n

If you feel you may has Asbestos then don’t worry, there are many options available to you. Simple fill in our form and we\u2019ll find you up to 4 local professionals, so you can compare prices and get the best quote to get everything sorted for you.<\/p>\n
