Hi. I have a hall, stairway and landing that has been artexed in the past. I would like to know what a professional plasterer would say is required to re-plaster the walls to a smooth finish. Cheers for all advice in advance.

Well, I would assume a bucket, some plaster, water and a trowel, and probably some PVA.
Depending on the type of artex, you can use a paper scraper and remove it yourself.

He could, depends on how sticky out it is, and how well adhered to the wall it is.
Float, not trowels. A few edging tools, and a plaster whisk. And a couple of hundred notes.
Might, if he is a good one.

Trowel, not float :-)

Is that a plasterer's thing? I had always assumed all tradespeople drank Builder's Tea and was quite surprised when some men doing a bit of internal concreting for me asked for coffee.
Next they'll be demanding Fig Rolls instead of Digestives.

Nope, it's a normal thing!
Coffee is a mans drink, tea is for girls.

1659 the first advertisement for tea, printed by Thomas Garraway owner of the London coffeehouse Garraway's, claimed tea would not only, "...maketh the body active and lusty"
The Australalian army say it's better for you than coffee: Tea has one-third caffeine content of coffee and herbals teas have minimal caffeine, so these are better than coffee.

Apparently Karl Marx used to swear by herbal tea... something to do with proper tea being theft... ;-)
