Cost really. But also managing timings. If I can do it myself in the evenings then that would be preferable.
My rational for stripping rather than skimming is this:
- my plastering ability is low and I've only done vertical surfaces.
- assumtion that prepping the surface is not dissimilar cost to trying to strip the artex first, so other than time why not?
- general concerns about the plaster properly bonding with the artex
- my plastering ability is low and I've only done vertical surfaces.

Again, why strip the artex? We (a plasterer) skimmed ours, similar to that.
