Local Artex removal in Oxford

Oxford is a historic university city with world-famous colleges, a large research, healthcare and car manufacturing economy and a high demand rental market. This is our patch: we carry out Artex removal for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and property developers throughout Oxford, including Blackbird Leys, Rose Hill and Wolvercote.

We handle Artex removal for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and property developers in Oxford regularly. The work is done to a high standard, priced clearly and finished on time.

In Oxford we work on Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, student lets and inter-war semis. Each one brings its own access and timing considerations, which is why every quote is based on your details.

Homeowners across South East are updating dated textured ceilings as part of kitchen, lighting and loft projects.

With a mix of period cottages, 1930s semis, new-build estates and busy commuter-town commercial premises, Oxfordshire has a wide mix of housing ages, so we see everything from 1960s stipple to 1980s fan patterns.

How do I get a quote in Oxford?

Just use the quote form with your Oxford postcode, a few details of what you need and any timing needs. Photos help but are optional.

Does Artex contain asbestos?

It can. Textured coatings such as Artex had small amounts of chrysotile (white asbestos) added until the mid-1980s, and asbestos use was fully banned in the UK in 1999. Any textured coating applied before 2000 should be tested before it is disturbed. Many coatings test negative, but you cannot tell by looking.
