Local Artex removal in Croydon

If you are living or working in Croydon knows the area: Croydon is a large south London town centre with office blocks, a major shopping area and fast rail links to central London, surrounded by busy residential suburbs of very mixed housing. We cover all of it, from Shirley to Selhurst.

We offer Artex removal all over Croydon and the wider Greater London area. Whether it is a small one-off job or a larger project, you get one clear price before anything is booked in.

Typical properties here include Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and modern town-centre flats, and each quote takes into account the building, parking and access and when you need it done.

With Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks, converted flats and a huge number of offices and shops, Greater London has plenty of properties where textured ceilings are still in place, so the work is routine for us.

Many semis and terraces in Croydon still have their original swirl ceilings in the hall, landing and main bedroom.

How long does Artex removal take?

Skimming a typical bedroom ceiling takes one day. A whole house is usually three to six days depending on the number of rooms. Full removal takes longer because the coating has to be softened and stripped first.

What to have ready for your Croydon quote

  • Allow three to seven days for the plaster to dry before you paint
  • Buy contract matt emulsion for the mist coat rather than vinyl paint
  • Find out roughly when the property was built or last decorated
  • Have any textured coating applied before 2000 sampled and lab tested before work
  • Decide whether you want a skim over, overboarding or full removal
