Artex removal near Chavey Down
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Chavey Down. Whether it’s ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and damaged or cracked coatings, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard and more.
Village homes like those in Chavey Down have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? 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. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What you get
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder

How we price Artex removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- What the material is and its state
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
