Ceiling Repairs Artex Removal in Arundel, West Sussex

Most homeowners we chat to in West Sussex have the same worry: 'Is my ceiling dangerous?' It's a fair question. If your property was built or renovated before the year 2000, there’s a good chance the textured coating contains white asbestos. While it’s generally safe if left alone, you certainly don't want to start sanding it down yourself. We take safety incredibly seriously. We can advise on the best course of action, whether that's professional testing or safe 'encapsulation' by over-boarding the ceiling. We've got the experience to handle these jobs responsibly, ensuring your family stays safe while we transform your space.

Imagine you’ve just noticed a damp patch appearing on your bedroom ceiling after a heavy South Coast downpour. Or perhaps a leaky bath upstairs has left you with a sagging, water-damaged mess. These things are more than just an eyesore; they can become structural issues if left too long. We handle all sorts of ceiling repairs in Arundel, from small cracks caused by property movement to full-scale replacements. If you have an older property with lath and plaster ceilings that have started to 'blow' (where the plaster pulls away from the timber), we can strip it back and restore the integrity of your ceiling with modern materials that last.

When we’re dealing with particularly stubborn Artex or ceilings that have seen better days, over-boarding is often the best solution. We fix new plasterboard directly over the existing ceiling, which provides a perfectly flat, stable base. Once we’ve taped and jointed the boards, we apply a mirror-smooth skim coat of finishing plaster. This method is often cleaner and more efficient than trying to scrape away decades of old material. It’s the gold standard for achieving that 'new build' look in an older property, and it even adds a tiny bit of extra sound insulation between floors.

We know that having tradespeople in your house can be a bit of a headache, especially with plastering which has a reputation for being messy. That’s why we go the extra mile to protect your floors and furniture, leaving the place as tidy as we found it. As PRB Systems Approved Contractors with £1 million in public liability insurance, we bring professional standards to every job, big or small. We’ve been working across the Sussex coast for years, building a reputation for being reliable and honest. You won't find any hidden charges here—just straightforward, high-quality workmanship.
