Artex textured coating was one of the most common forms of decoration for a new wall or ceiling in the UK. It was used in the 1970’s and 80’s to cover up imperfections or as an alternative to wallpaper.

Artex is a decorative textured coating that can be found in many homes built from the 1960s onwards, usually on ceilings and occasionally on walls. It comes in a variety of patterns and finishes, including swirls, stipples, broken leather, broken leather with swirl and basket weave.
The texture coats were originally made with asbestos, which can be dangerous if disturbed. Many homes built during this time still contain Artex ceilings and walls, and there have been many concerns raised about its safety. If your home or business premises has it applied to the surfaces of walls or ceilings you may need to remove it. Some people find that it makes their home feel dated or they simply do not like the look of it. With modern designs often favouring smooth finish with minimal decoration, Artex can be seen as something of an eyesore.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Artex was a very popular decorative finish for new ceilings and walls. It was mainly used to hide uneven surfaces and imperfections in plasterwork, but its brushed effect also created a contemporary textured look.
There were many different patterns available, most of which involved simple swirls or more elaborate stipple effects. These were often combined with different colours such as gold, silver or bronze to create glistening metallic highlights.
Artex has now fallen out of fashion and people who own homes with this type of ceiling often wish to remove it altogether. Unfortunately, the only way to do this is to either scrape or chip it off your ceiling using specialist tools. This is time consuming and makes a lot of mess. And when you consider that it needs to be replaced by new ceilings or plastering work, it’s also expensive.
The good news is that Artex can be covered up relatively easily using paints and surface treatments that have been specially developed for this purpose.

There are a number of benefits which come with choosing us to carry out your artex removal.
Firstly, it is cheaper than you may think. We are able to offer competitive rates as we understand that this is something that people do not need to have done every day and there is not always a great deal of spare cash around.
Secondly, the process itself is much easier than carrying out repairs on an artex ceiling yourself. Whilst it is possible for you to buy the products and try this by yourself, there is so much to take into consideration, such as the type of surface you are working on and how much of it needs doing. As professional damp proofing experts we can help with every aspect of your ceilings and walls, including taking care of any mould or rising damp that may be present.
Thirdly, we make sure that everything is ready for you to redecorate when we have finished the job. Our team will carefully prepare all surfaces so that they are smooth and ready for painting or papering – saving you time and money in the long run!

They were careful to minimise the mess and ensure everything was left clean and tidy at the end of each day. I would recommend them unreservedly.

I have found Brighton Plastering Services to be an extremely professional company. They do a great job of work, they clean up after themselves, they are always on time and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
I have used Brighton Plastering Services before to remove damp in a flat I had and they were so good I hired them to do the same job in my new house.
I found the team at Brighton Plastering Services to be very professional, amiable and capable. They did a great job of removing Artex from the ceiling of my dining room without damaging the rest of the room. They were very friendly, professional and capable. I would certainly recommend them.
