Why Choose Global Plastering

Safe & Professional Artex Removal in South Wales

How our specialist ceiling smoothing process works

We take a systematic approach to textured coating removal, prioritising safety and surface quality. Depending on the condition of your existing ceiling, we will recommend the most appropriate method, whether that involves professional over-boarding or precision skimming to achieve a perfect, flat surface. By choosing to smooth out these surfaces, you are not just updating the look of a room; you are preparing your home for a high-quality paint finish that reflects light and creates a feeling of space.

Is your Usk property ready for a modern energy upgrade?

Removing Artex is frequently the first step in wider home renovation projects in Monmouthshire. Many homeowners discover that once the textured coating is addressed, the ceiling is the perfect place to integrate modern thermal efficiency improvements. As part of our comprehensive services, we can discuss how this work fits into your wider property goals, such as improving your EPC rating or preparing for potential insulation retrofits that help reduce heat loss during the colder 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!"

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.
