The paint on my bathroom's artex ceiling is peeling off, how do I safely and

I'm hoping it doesn't contain any asbestos...


I tried a wallpaper stripper, and found it was good for getting the
actual artex off !


Can be; but depends greatly on how well the artex was stuck to the
original ceiling, what type of artex it is, etc Very likely to end in
tears!
