Modernize Your Home with Smooth Ceilings

The ceiling is often the largest uninterrupted surface in a room, yet it's frequently overlooked. In many Teesside homes, dated Artex patterns or cracks can make a room feel old and neglected. Our ceiling plastering services are designed to refresh your space, giving it a clean, modern look.

Whether you want to cover up old popcorn ceilings, repair water damage from a leak, or simply refresh a tired room, our local experts have the solution.

Artex Removal and Covering

Artex was popular in the 70s and 80s, but today, smooth ceilings are the standard for modern interiors. We offer safe and effective methods to deal with Artex:

• Overboarding: Fixing new plasterboard over the existing ceiling. This is often the safest and cleanest method, providing a brand new surface to skim.
• Skimming Over: If the texture is low profile, we can apply a bonding coat followed by a skim coat to smooth it out directly.
• Removal: In some cases, complete removal is necessary, though we always test for asbestos first to ensure safety.

Ceiling Repairs

Ceilings can suffer from various issues over time:

• Cracks: Hairline cracks are common in older properties due to movement. We use scrim tape and quality filler to ensure they don't come back.
• Water Damage: Stains and bowing caused by leaks need professional attention. We replace damaged sections and re-plaster to blend seamlessly with the rest of the ceiling.
• Sagging: A sagging ceiling can be dangerous. We assess the structural integrity and re-secure or replace the plasterboard as needed.
