Have a go if you can't afford to get someone in - by the time you've skimmed out a whole house your be getting better...
Artex needs to be sound and PVA as stated above, get the skim on and flattish but don't play with it too much till it begins to set (but don't leave it too long) - depending on texture two costs may be required - when finishing off use a flat brush to 'flick' water on the wall which lets you to polish it up - spend a bit more time getting a decent job and it will save hours in sanding time :)

Got to have a go :shock: already have sanders and stuff
It is definitly paint and it is a cieling so could be fun :roll:
If worst happens I will just have to buy some textured paint :wink:

Artex might come off with a steamer, otherwise my mate did his lounge with a DeWalt random orbital sander, a beast of a thing it looks like it started life as an angle grinder :twisted:
