Ballpark figure on some plastering

[Hythan]

Any plasterers?

Mother in law has a living room, 20ft x 12ft.

It has the old style walls it think it is called Artex? Like a bobbly effect on it.

We were wondering if anyone could give a rough idea of how much skimming it over to provide a smooth surface would be? Anyone a plasterer or had a similar sized room done?

I love this site.

Thank you, I really appreciate that.

There are central heating pipes that are running down the walls too. Not boxed in or anything. Would they need to be boxed in and then plastered over or something? Or can they be left exposed and just paint them the same colour as the walls? Or is it purely personal preference?

Okay, so if they were to be chased into the wall would that require a plumber to do that and then someone like your good self to come in afterwards?

Or would that be something you would do yourself and then do the plastering?

Where are you based?

Thanks again for the info. We really have no idea when it comes to this so great to get some info.

Thank you very much for taking the time to tell me all this. Its been a massive help.
