Artex removal in Canterbury

If you are based in Canterbury will know the place well: Canterbury is a historic cathedral city in east Kent and World Heritage Site, with medieval walls, large universities and a strong tourism economy, plus many student lets. We work right across it, from Thanington and Sturry.

Artex removal in Canterbury does not need to be complicated. Give us a few details about what you need, and we will come back with a fixed price and our next available dates.

Local buildings are largely Medieval and Georgian houses, Victorian terraces and student lets, and we price every job around the property, parking and access and when you need it done.

In Canterbury we regularly see swirl and stipple ceilings in hallways, landings and bedrooms that owners want brought up to date before selling or letting.

Landlords and letting agents in Canterbury often have Artex skimmed between tenancies, because a smooth ceiling is far easier to repaint and keep looking fresh.

The biggest factor in price, after size, is access in Canterbury. Tight streets, permit parking and upper floors all add time, so mention them when you send your details.
