How long does Artex removal take?

  • Arrange for light fittings to be isolated and removed by an electrician if needed
  • Clear small items and move furniture before the plasterer arrives
  • Plan where you will sleep or work if a bedroom or office is being done
  • Allow three to seven days for the plaster to dry before you paint
  • Buy contract matt emulsion for the mist coat rather than vinyl paint
