Can we plaster over textured Artex ceilings in our house?

Posted by Jonathan Wood, on
The house we have just purchased has textured artex ceilings throughout. As the house was built in 1975 there is a chance these may contain asbestos. To get a smooth ceiling, is it possible to simply plaster over the top of the existing ceiling?
