About our Folkestone service

Folkestone is a coastal port town in south-east Kent close to the Channel Tunnel terminal, known for its clifftop Leas promenade, regenerated harbour and Creative Quarter. This is our patch: we carry out Artex removal for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and property developers throughout Folkestone, including Tontine, Sandgate and Cheriton.

Booking Artex removal in Folkestone should not be a hassle. Send us the basics and we will reply with a clear, fixed quote.

Our Folkestone jobs cover Victorian terraces, grand seafront flats and inter-war semis. Each one is a little different, so we price from the details you send.

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

Across Kent, skimming over Artex is far more common than full removal, because it is quicker and leaves the coating sealed in.
