Artex removal is frequently necessary in properties constructed or last decorated between the 1970s and 1990s. These textured ceilings were once popular but are now out of style. Removing Artex revitalizes a space and prepares the surface for a contemporary, smooth finish.
Many Artex coatings from this era may include asbestos, necessitating careful handling during Artex removal in Wembley. A professional approach guarantees safe extraction, diminishing any risk to residents. We adhere to stringent safety protocols to manage these hazards effectively.

Dust travels everywhere. You should strip every curtain from the rail, empty cupboards, and take all freestanding furniture completely out into the hallway.

Bare timber absorbs old damp sludge. We advise peeling back expensive wool carpets right to the gripper rods, or rolling heavy membrane across existing parquet blocks. Old textured patterns peel down in moist flakes that can stain untreated pine boards if walked upon under heavy work boots.

Craftsmanship you can see
Every plastering project we complete leaves walls smooth, durable, and ready for whatever comes next.
We begin by laying protective floor sheeting and masking doorway openings, proceed with controlled texture stripping, wash down residual backing paste, and conclude with clearing away damp debris into heavy sacks before your final walk-through inspection.
Costs shift depending on ceiling heights, the stubbornness of older paint layers binding the texture, and whether underlying lath or plasterboard requires stabilization prior to clean stripping, rather than simple room floor measurements alone.
Wet stripping gels prevent fine dust from circulating around living quarters, whereas scraping dry creates airborne grit. The choice depends on room ventilation, surface thickness, and whether historic distemper coats sit under the decorative ridges.
Cold temperatures lengthen natural drying cycles for stripping gels and base patches, requiring steady domestic radiator warmth instead of cold draughts to help lingering moisture clear evenly without chilling bare masonry walls.
