Artex removal across Scotland
Scotland has tenement flats, stone-built villas, ex-council housing and new-build estates. Artex is a textured coating that was applied to millions of UK ceilings and walls from the 1960s to the 1990s, usually in swirl, stipple, comb or fan patterns. It is hard to paint, it collects dust and cobwebs, and it makes a room look dated. Many people also want it gone because coatings applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos.

Our services
Artex ceiling skimming
The quickest and most popular option. High points are scraped back, the surface is sealed and bonded, then two coats of finishing plaster give a completely smooth ceiling without disturbing the coating underneath.
Full Artex removal
Where you want the coating physically taken off, it is softened and stripped back to the board or plaster once testing confirms it is safe to do so, then the surface is made good.
Asbestos testing
Any textured coating applied before 2000 should be sampled before it is sanded, scraped or drilled. We arrange a sample and accredited lab analysis so you know exactly what you are dealing with.
Asbestos-containing Artex
If a test comes back positive, the coating is either encapsulated under a skim or removed by trained operatives following HSE guidance, with the waste bagged and disposed of correctly.
Textured wall removal
Artex and other textured finishes on walls, stairwells and landings, skimmed or removed and left smooth for painting or wallpaper.
Coving and ceiling repairs
Cracks, old fixings and damaged areas repaired, new coving fitted where needed, and the finish blended so the room looks completely fresh.
