Ceiling Repairs Artex Removal in Worthing, West Sussex

Let's be honest, Artex was the go-to solution for decades because it was cheap and great at hiding wobbly ceilings. Today, it is mostly just a magnet for dust and a nightmare to repair. Most people we chat with in Worthing are desperate for that "back to flat" look that makes a home feel contemporary. We do not just scrape at your ceiling and hope for the best. Depending on the condition of your home, we might suggest over-boarding—which involves fixing new plasterboard over the existing surface—or applying a professional skim coat. Both methods result in a mirror-smooth surface that is ready for decorating. If you are tired of looking at those dated patterns, call us on 01273 957212 to discuss the best approach for your space.

If your property was built or renovated before the year 2000, there is a chance the textured coating on your ceilings contains white asbestos. We know that sounds a bit daunting, but it is perfectly safe as long as it is not sanded or disturbed. This is why we never recommend a DIY approach to Artex removal. We take our responsibility to your family's health very seriously. Before we start any work, we will chat through the options, which often include safe encapsulation by over-boarding. This traps the old texture behind fresh board and plaster, giving you a brand-new ceiling without the mess or risk of full removal. We can even help arrange testing if you want total peace of mind before we start.

Imagine coming home to find a damp patch spreading across your dining room ceiling. It is a common headache in older Worthing properties, often caused by a hidden pipe leak or a failed roof tile. Once the plumber has done their bit, you are often left with a sagging, stained mess. We specialise in water damage repair, carefully cutting out the sodden plaster and replacing it so the join is completely invisible. From minor cracks in Victorian lath and plaster to full ceiling restorations in modern West Sussex builds, we make sure the structural integrity is sound before we even think about the finishing touches.

Why choose us over a big national firm? We are local people who take pride in our Sussex reputation.

Whether you are in a terrace near Worthing pier or a bungalow in Goring-by-Sea, we treat every house with the same respect. We offer free, no-obligation quotes and honest advice, so you will know exactly what the job entails before we pick up a trowel. Give us a ring on 01273 957212 to get started.
