Why Choose Global Plastering

Safe & Professional Artex Removal in South Wales

Safe Handling and Asbestos Testing Standards

Many properties built before the mid-1980s contain Artex that may harbour asbestos fibres. At Global Plastering, we prioritise your safety and the health of your household above all else. Our PAS 2030 accredited team follows rigorous industry protocols to assess your ceiling before any work begins. We provide expert guidance on safe removal or professional over-boarding techniques, ensuring that your renovation project is carried out with full compliance and minimal disruption to your daily life.

The Process of Ceiling Skimming and Surface Modernisation

Once the safety assessment is complete, our skilled plasterers begin the transformation. For surfaces where removal is not the most viable path, we utilise professional over-boarding, which provides a clean, flat substrate for the final finish. We then apply a high-quality plaster skim, creating a perfectly smooth, level surface ready for painting or wallpapering. This attention to detail is what distinguishes our plastering work in Swansea, providing you with a high-end finish that stands the test of time.

Integrating Ceiling Improvements with Home Energy Efficiency

While smoothing your ceilings drastically improves the aesthetics of your rooms, we often combine these works with our broader energy efficiency expertise. As part of our commitment to improving properties across South Wales, we can discuss whether your project would benefit from integrated internal insulation. This dual-purpose approach helps manage thermal bridging and heat loss, ensuring your property is not just visually stunning but also warmer and more energy-efficient throughout the winter months.

What Our Clients Say About Global Plastering

"Excellent work the team removing our old 1970's cladding and replacing it with insulation and a rendered finish. The job went smooth from start to finish with all old materials removed from site. We are very pleased with the end result and would thoroughly recommend Global Plastering."

A. Jenkins (Ferndale)

"Dilwyn and his team were brilliant and made a lovely job of our EWI. They were very friendly, hard-working, and left no mess at the end of each day. Our house looks great and we can definitely feel the benefits of the insulation already. I'm very glad we chose EWI especially with energy costs as they are now."

G. Toogood (Bristol)

"Charlotte and the team were professional, reliable, and excellent at communicating throughout. They did a fantastic job of skimming and rendering the back of our house during our renovation. Superb quality of work and highly recommended!"

M. Lewis (Cardiff)

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about safe Artex removal, ceiling smoothing, and professional plastering services in South Wales and South West England and the surrounding areas.

Is it safe to remove Artex myself?

+

It is strongly advised that you do not attempt to sand or scrape Artex yourself. Because many older versions contain asbestos, any dust created can be dangerous if inhaled. Professional contractors use specific wet-removal or covering techniques to keep your home safe. We have the training and protective equipment to handle these surfaces without putting your family at risk.

Can you plaster straight over Artex?

+

In many cases, yes. If the Artex is well-bonded to the ceiling and the pattern isn't too deep, we can apply a specialist bonding agent followed by a multi-coat plaster skim. However, if the pattern is very heavy or the ceiling is sagging, we may recommend over-boarding with new plasterboard first to ensure a flat, durable finish that won't crack in the future.

How long does it take to smooth a ceiling?

+

For a standard-sized room, we can usually complete the Artex covering and skimming process within one to two days. This includes the preparation, the plastering itself, and the clean-up. We understand that having work done in your home can be a bit of a trek, so we work efficiently to get your rooms back to normal as quickly as possible.
