Ceiling Repairs Artex Removal in Littlehampton, West Sussex

Let's be honest, Artex hasn't really been 'in' for a long time. Beyond the aesthetic, the biggest headache for most people in West Sussex is the safety aspect. If your property was built or decorated before the year 2000, there is a good chance that the textured coating on your ceilings contains white asbestos. It's perfectly safe if left alone, but the moment you start drilling or scraping it, you've got a problem. That's why we take a 'safety first' approach. We can guide you through the process of getting a sample tested or discuss 'asbestos encapsulation'—a method where we safely over-board the existing ceiling with new plasterboard. This keeps the old material undisturbed and gives us a brand-new surface to skim. It’s the cleanest, safest way to modernise your home without the stress of a full-scale hazardous removal.

Have you spotted a yellowish stain appearing in the corner of your lounge? Or maybe a hairline crack that's started to look more like a canyon? Water ingress is a common sight in Littlehampton, especially after a heavy storm or a sneaky bathroom leak upstairs. If you ignore it, the plaster can eventually 'blow'—that's when it pulls away from the timber laths or the brickwork, making it heavy and dangerous. We've seen plenty of ceilings that look like they're ready to give way, but don't worry, we can usually fix them without needing a full replacement. We'll cut out the damaged sections, treat any underlying issues, and patch it so perfectly you'll never know it was there. Whether it's a Victorian terrace in the town centre or a 1970s semi near the bypass, we've got the tools and the experience to make your ceilings solid and safe again.
