How long does my new plaster take to dry out?

Plaster is best dried out naturally with windows open. In general room re-skim can take 2-5 days to dry although a small area would take considerably less time. Dot & Dab or float and set any where up to 2 weeks depending on thickness, damp coarse render or external render also up to 2 weeks. This is very weather dependent.

Can I artex ceilings and walls plastered ?

Artex can be scraped so the rough bits are off prior to plastering. This can only be done if there is no Asbestos present. Two or three coats of plaster will be appliesd to achieve the desired finish. Should it contain Asbestos then it cannot be disturbed in any way or the Asbestos fibres may become airborne and potentially harmful. In this instance I would  plaster over the Artex without disturbing it.
