Artex removal for Seven Kings properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. From rented homes refurbished between tenants and extensions that cut into ceilings, we deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Ceilings in Seven Kings conversions can have more than one coating, so we test each coating. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

People generally contact us about one of these:
