Can you fix a cracked ceiling without replacing it?

Often yes — if the ceiling is still solid, we can rake out the cracks, reinforce and re-skim. If it's loose or sagging, overboarding is usually the right call.

Do you remove old artex?

We don't sand or scrape artex (which may contain asbestos in older homes). We overboard or skim straight over it, which seals it in safely and gives you a flat modern finish.

How long does a ceiling job take?

A bedroom ceiling is usually a day's work plus drying time. A bigger living room ceiling or one needing overboarding takes a little longer.
