How artex removal works in Burnt Hill
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Burnt Hill. From landlord refurbishments and ceilings before plastering, we deal with coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings and more.
Rural homes near Burnt Hill have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Common questions in Burnt Hill
Do you work near Pangbourne station?
Yes. Pangbourne station is about 4.2 miles east of Burnt Hill, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Burnt Hill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How much does Artex removal cost in Burnt Hill?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Weighing up your options
