Artex here too
(I am an adult of the70's after all), and the fancy plaster ceiling-roses will have to go too! I am sure it will be FUN.

There’s nothing there that a bit of news paper and some fibreglass can’t sort
Ceiling roses in a kitchen? Was this just posh or was it originally another room?Artex here too
I am sure it will be FUN.
sounds like an awful lot of making good. Watch it with the Artex, lots of it, mainly the older stuff contains asbestos. https://www.hse.gov.uk/asbestos/essentials/coatings.htm
Never knew this when I took all the Artex off a "feature" chimney breast wall in the sitting room of my 1928 house. Fortunately I did it in such a way as to be unlikely to cause me a problem, and subsequent chest X-rays have shown nowt. but you prolly knew this already.
Still every cloud has a silver lining. If you have to cut holes to remove ceiling roses, it should give you plenty of elbow room to muck about with wiring.
Anyway, here's some pics, to show why I had to move it, and the two holes.

Thanks for the pictures.
We are definitely NOT posh. Here are the ceiling roses and the current LED bulbed lights.
I built this extension on the house myself in 1991-2 and I know there is no asbestos product in it at all.
The lighting ring comes into the room from the utility room to the RH light then through all the joists to the LH light and then on left through the joists to the dining room next to the kitchen, then back into the main house through the old external wall and into the ceiling of my study. So, if we remove the lights and chuck the contents of the 2 ceiling roses up into the "void" and Tee the LED lighting off them, all will be good (I think/hope).
Hope the buyer does his homework and does a thorough identity check. Caveat emptor and all that.

It shud still wurk as eye dint let the smoke oat. It just smelt ov burnin. Not shor if me curtain got caught ont air intake. About ter suck dust oat win henry.
Phew, no asbestos, big relief.!
Those ceiling roses are serious business. they are twice the diameter of the ones in our lounge and we struggled to find any as big!
Those light fittings are deffo nice for a kitchen.
As you said
and yet it was you who wired it up in the first place, (!) you must have some idea of how tight it all is!
But as you know where it starts and finishes, you could simply cut the wiring to the existing lights and go back to the beginning and end of what you now have and then start from scratch.
But I don't envy you getting rid of those roses!
Whatever you do, i'm sure it'll be fine. But it'll be as much fun for you as it was for me, to try and replicate the original Artex patterning, when blending it in.
