Artex removal in Dartford

If you are based in Dartford will know the place well: Dartford is a commuter town on the Thames at the Kent edge of London, known for the Dartford Crossing and Bluewater, with extensive riverside regeneration and logistics employment. We cover all of it, from Temple Hill and Ingress Park.

We offer Artex removal across Dartford and the surrounding Kent area. Whether it is a small one-off job or a larger project, you get one clear price before anything is booked in.

Local buildings are largely Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and riverside new-build flats, so we price every job around the building, access and when you need it done.

Landlords in Dartford often have Artex dealt with during a void period so the property is easier to repaint between tenants.

Some older Dartford homes have lath and plaster ceilings under the Artex, which can mean overboarding is the better option.
