Last house had all Artexed ceilings!!! I soaked the celings with soapy water and scraped with a floor scraper (Wickes, approx £10). Some of them were easy to scrape the Artex clean off, others it was only reasonably possible to smooth it slightly; but we plastered over straight away anyhow. Makes one hell of a mess if it all comes off. To be honest, I would leave it alone as you will have to paint it again after, better to do the whole job in one hit (scrape, plaster, paint) as it is much more time efficient in covering up & clearing up, doing it in stages is going to make a mess twice!
