Local Artex removal in Edinburgh

Anyone living or working in Edinburgh knows the area: Edinburgh is Scotland's capital, with a medieval Old Town and Georgian New Town, a large finance, tourism, government and university economy, and the world's biggest arts festival each August. We cover all of it, including Comely Bank and Craiglockhart.

Artex removal in Edinburgh should be simple. Send us a few details about what you need, and you will get a fixed price and the earliest date we can do it.

Local buildings are largely Tenement flats, Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and bungalows, and each quote takes into account the property, access and when you need it done.

We recommend testing any textured coating in a Edinburgh property built or decorated before 2000 before anyone scrapes or drills it.

Stairwells are one of the most common jobs we see in Edinburgh, usually walls and ceiling done together so the access only goes up once.

Questions about Artex removal in Edinburgh

What does Artex removal cost in Edinburgh?

Prices vary with the job. Prices in Edinburgh depend on the scope of the work and access and timing, so send your details for an exact fixed price. Typical prices are in the facts box at the top of this page and in our cost guide.

How do I get a quote in Edinburgh?

Can you come out to Comely Bank and other parts of Edinburgh?

Yes, we do. We cover the whole of Edinburgh, including Comely Bank, Craiglockhart, Liberton, Leith, Morningside and Stockbridge, plus nearby Livingston, Stirling, Perth and Dundee.

New plaster usually needs between three and seven days to dry, depending on the weather and ventilation. Once it has turned an even pale pink, apply a watered-down mist coat first, then your normal emulsion.
