About our Sunderland service

Sunderland is a coastal city at the mouth of the River Wear with a shipbuilding and coal heritage, now known for car manufacturing nearby, its seafront at Roker and Seaburn, and a university. This is our patch: we provide Artex removal for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and property developers throughout Sunderland, including Hendon, Grangetown and Doxford Park.

We carry out Artex removal throughout Sunderland and the surrounding Tyne and Wear area. Whether it is a small one-off job or a larger project, we give you one clear price before anything is booked in.

Local buildings are largely Sunderland cottages, Victorian terraces, inter-war semis and council estates, so we price every job around the property, access and when you need it done.

In Sunderland we regularly see swirl and stipple ceilings in hallways, landings and bedrooms that owners want brought up to date before selling or letting.

Landlords and letting agents in Sunderland often have Artex skimmed between tenancies, because a smooth ceiling is far easier to repaint and keep looking fresh.

Planning your job in Sunderland

The biggest factor in price, after size, is access in Sunderland. Tight streets, permit parking and upper floors all add time, so let us know about them up front.

It is quick: fill in the form, we reply with a price (usually the same day), you confirm, and a local team completes the job in Sunderland on the agreed date.

Why Sunderland customers choose us

People in Sunderland choose us because the price is agreed up front, we arrive when agreed, and the job is finished properly and left tidy.

  • Clear pricing
  • Safety first
  • Smooth, flat finish

How much does Artex removal cost in Sunderland?

Every job is different. Prices in Sunderland come down to the size of the job and access, so send your details for an exact fixed price. Our cost guide gives typical UK prices.

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.
