Frequently asked questions
Can you get rid of artex for good?
Yes — we skim over sound artex or overboard heavier texture, leaving a permanently smooth surface.
Why are the plasterboard joints cracking?
Joints and nail fixings can move over time. We repair and re-skim them for a flat, lasting finish.
