Alright chaps, got given your link as someone to ask about for a nice simple artexing job.
Need a kitchen ceiling artexing. Currently got a stipple artex ceiling, with several patches where walls/cabinets have come down. Its all long dried and is solid, the ceilings been up years and the patches were filled 6+ months ago.
Needs a scrape clean and artexing in a very discrete broken leather-ish finish - want a nice clean finish that wont stand out. No coving as the rooms got a lot of corners in it, so just the usual inch-ish wide band round the edges.
Its a 2.3m x 4m kitchen, with about 2 square metre extra by the front door, one meter flat, one going up the slope up the stairs.
Also a bit underneath the stairs as its all open.
All in its about 12 sq/m all in, give or take a bit.
Jobs in Sandhurst, kitchen will be emptied but will obviously have units/worktop etc in.
what you reckon ,anyone interested? Drop me an email or PM.
Ta.
Jamie

no mate. ££££££ in a bag Steve- it's getting harder to source. A bit hit and miss at B&Q. I also artex over artex i.e change the design, with a bag of spunk called "smooth over." similar properties to artex but it sets in about 2 hours and you can re-artex over it the same day! £19 a bag though!! |

No, not really. 15 or so years ago it was a license to print money...easy money!! I can go months without any artex work and then this week i've got 2 jobs on back to back! I'd gladly chuck my trowel away if it ever came back into fashion! |

Yep, you can charge a premium as there's very few people around who can do it, let alone do it well! |

i know it sounds weird but the thing to remember is that there's no such thing as a random pattern, even broken leather has a method
