Artex ceilings were everywhere in British homes during the 1970s and 80s, but they haven’t aged well. If you’re looking to modernise your Wolverhampton property and create smooth, contemporary ceilings, Asbestos Removals Wolverhampton can help. We specialise in safe, professional artex ceiling removal wolverhampton, handling any asbestos risks properly and leaving you with clean surfaces ready for a fresh finish.

Whether you’re updating one room or tackling the whole house, we make the process straightforward, safe, and surprisingly affordable.

There are several good reasons to remove Artex ceilings:

• Modern interiors demand smooth finishes – Artex simply doesn’t match current styles.

• They look dated – Textured ceilings instantly date a property. Smooth ceilings look modern, clean, and much more appealing to buyers and tenants.

• They’re hard to maintain – Artex collects dust, cobwebs, and grime in all those crevices. It’s difficult to clean and impossible to paint neatly.

• They can contain asbestos – Many Artex products applied before 1984 (and some up to 1999) contain asbestos. If the coating is damaged or you want to work on it, proper artex ceiling removal wolverhampton becomes essential.

• They lower ceiling height visually – Heavy texture and older paint colours make rooms feel smaller.

If your ceiling was textured before 2000, there’s a chance it contains asbestos. The risk is highest before 1984, but later products weren’t always asbestos-free.

You can’t tell visually – laboratory testing is the only reliable answer. We can take a small sample and have it analysed within 48 hours through our [Asbestos Testing Wolverhampton] service.

Even if it turns out not to contain asbestos, professional artex ceiling removal wolverhampton is still the safest way forward due to the difficulty and mess.

1. Testing (if required)

If you’re unsure whether asbestos is present, we take a sample and send it to a UKAS-accredited lab. You’ll usually have results within 48 hours.

2. Free Quote

You’ll receive a clear written quote. We price per room or per square metre depending on the project.

3. Preparation and Protection

We arrive with all necessary equipment. Floors, furniture, and fittings are protected with heavy-duty sheeting, and doorways are sealed to contain the workspace.

4. Wet Removal

We dampen the Artex thoroughly, then carefully scrape it using specialist tools. Wet working is essential for safe artex ceiling removal wolverhampton, as it suppresses dust and prevents fibres from becoming airborne.

5. Continuous Cleaning

Scrapings go straight into sealed bags. We don’t let debris accumulate.

6. Thorough Decontamination

After removal, we clean everything using HEPA vacuums and damp wiping, ensuring no dust or residue remains.

7. Waste Disposal

All waste is double-bagged, sealed, labelled, and transported by licensed carriers. We provide full documentation for your records.

8. Ready for Plastering

When we’re done, your ceiling is ready for a fresh skim. We can recommend reliable plasterers if needed.

We offer artex ceiling removal wolverhampton for:

Single Room Projects

Ideal if you’re modernising one space at a time.

Once the Artex is removed, you may find:

• Plasterboard – Most common; perfect for skimming.
• Older plaster – Usually fine but may need patching.
• Occasional damage – Plasterers can fix cracks, dips, and aging surfaces.

A skim transforms the space completely, giving you clean, modern ceilings.

Sometimes, yes – but it comes with risks:

• Plaster weight may cause detachment
• Any loose areas will still show through
• If asbestos is present, it’s still under there
• Light fittings and edges can cause problems

Professional artex ceiling removal wolverhampton is the safer long-term solution.

• Standard plasterboard

• Lath and plaster

• High ceilings

• Damaged ceilings

We adjust our methods depending on your ceiling’s condition.
