Artex removal in Bedgrove
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and people typically contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and loft conversions.
Homes in areas like Bedgrove may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
