Hi

I!!!8217;m looking to get some room ceiling plastered (currently artex) and was wondering if it!!!8217;s okay to do this in the winter (I.e. now) when it!!!8217;s cold and dry. Will it cause any issues in like cracking given the weather or will I be okay? Thanks

    Assuming the room is heated to a sensible temperature, probably in line with the rest of your house, then no problem at all. You'd only get problems if the room was at sub-zero temperatures, which I assume is unlikely.
