Artex Covering
Safe over-boarding or skim-over treatment for artex ceilings. No mess, no dust storms, just a smooth modern ceiling ready for paint.
Artex Covering in Manchester
Pre-2000 artex can contain asbestos, which is why we never sand it. We either overboard with fresh plasterboard or apply a bonding coat and skim straight over the texture — both leave a flat, paint-ready ceiling with no dust storm.
We cover artex ceilings across Manchester every week and most rooms are done within a day or two.
Standards we work to
- Asbestos-aware handling
- Overboard preferred
- Same-week turnaround

Common questions
Is it safe to plaster over artex?+
Yes — covering is the safe option because it doesn't disturb any fibres. We never sand or scrape artex.
Will the ceiling height drop?+
Overboarding adds around 12mm. A skim-over adds 3-5mm. We will recommend whichever suits the room.
