Safe Artex Ceiling Removal in Dawlish & Across Devon

Textured finishes like stipple, swirl, or comb coatings were applied to ceilings across Dawlish homes for decades. If your property was built or renovated before 2000, those textured decorative finishes frequently contain chrysotile asbestos. When you want to modernise a room, take down a dividing wall, or fix water damage from an overhead leak, dry sanding or scraping that coating off releases microscopic fibres straight into your living space. We step in to remove dated textured ceilings cleanly and completely so you can get on with re-plastering.

Our team has more than 45 years of practical trade experience handling hazardous materials across Devon. We look at how the coating was put up—whether it sits directly on concrete slabs or onto standard plasterboard fixed to ceiling joists. From there, we plan a controlled strip that keeps your household safe, prevents cross-contamination into adjoining rooms, and takes the ceiling back to bare joists ready for fresh board.

Every project is set up with practical dust suppression and heavy polythene sheeting before a single nail or board is touched. We work systematically from room to room, taking down the contaminated material without breaking it up unnecessarily, leaving you with a clean, clear space for the plasterers to come straight in.
