Ceiling Repairs Artex Removal in Seaford, East Sussex

We need to talk about the elephant in the room when it comes to older textured coatings: asbestos. If your home was built or decorated before the year 2000, there is a significant chance the Artex on your ceilings contains white asbestos fibres. It is perfectly safe if left undisturbed, but the moment you start sanding or scraping it, you risk releasing those fibres into your home. That is why we never take risks with your health. We can help you arrange professional testing or, as is often the most practical solution, we use a technique called over-boarding. This involves fixing brand-new plasterboard directly over the old ceiling. Not only does this encapsulate the Artex safely, but it also adds a layer of extra fire protection and soundproofing. It is the cleanest, safest, and most effective way to achieve a mirror-smooth finish without the hazardous mess.

Living on the East Sussex coast means our homes have to stand up to some pretty tough weather. We often get calls from Seaford residents who have noticed a tell-tale brown stain appearing or, even worse, a worrying sag in the plasterboard after a heavy storm or a hidden bathroom leak. Water ingress can ruin a ceiling incredibly quickly, and if you are dealing with older lath and plaster, it can eventually become a real safety hazard. We do not believe in just patching over a problem and hoping for the best. Our team will carefully cut out the damaged section, inspect the underlying joists for damp, and install new boards with professional taping and jointing to prevent future cracks. We treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping dust to an absolute minimum and ensuring the work area is spotless before we leave.

Choosing the right tradesperson can feel like a bit of a gamble, but we have built our reputation across Sussex on being reliable, transparent, and incredibly tidy. We are proud to be approved PRB Systems contractors and we hold £1 million in public liability insurance, giving you total peace of mind while we are in your home. From a small patch repair in a hallway to a full-scale renovation of a commercial property, we bring the same obsessive attention to detail to every single project. We know that having work done can be disruptive, so we make it our mission to be punctual and communicate clearly from the first quote to the final skim.
