Popcorn ceiling removal
Trade a dated, dust catching ceiling for a smooth, bright one. We contain the mess, remove the texture and leave the ceiling primed for paint.
Removing acoustic texture is messy work when it is done carelessly. We cover floors, walls and anything that stays in the room, remove the texture with as little dust as possible, repair the drywall beneath and skim it smooth.
Texture applied before the 1980s can contain asbestos. If your home is from that period, the ceiling should be tested before anyone disturbs it. We will talk you through that step first.
How the work goes
Inspection and quote
We check the ceiling, discuss testing where the age of the home calls for it and give you a written price.
Protection
Floors, walls and furnishings are covered and the room is sealed off.
Removal and repair
Texture comes off, joints and damage are repaired and the surface is skimmed smooth.
Prime and clean up
The ceiling is primed, ready for paint, and the room is left clean.

Popcorn Ceiling Removal: questions and answers
Does my popcorn ceiling contain asbestos?
It might if it was applied before the 1980s. The only way to know is a lab test of a small sample, which should happen before removal.
Can you paint the ceiling too?
Yes. We can finish with paint, and texture or paint the walls while we are there.
