Ceiling repairs & artex covering Southampton

If your ceiling has been damaged by a leak, started cracking, or is sagging, it’s important to get it checked and repaired properly.

We specialise in ceiling repairs across Southampton and surrounding areas, including the New Forest and wider Hampshire. Whether it’s water damage, blown plaster or an artex ceiling, we provide straightforward advice and a clean, professional finish.

In many cases, artex ceilings can be safely covered without the need for full removal. This keeps the process simpler, more cost-effective, and far less disruptive to your home.

We also carry out repairs to traditional lath & plaster ceilings commonly found in older properties ensuring they are stabilised & finished to a high standard.

Common ceiling problems we deal with:

•  Water damaged ceilings from leaks

•  Cracked or sagging ceilings

•  Blown/loose plaster

•  Artex ceilings needing a smooth finish

•  Lath & Plaster ceiling repairs (older properties)

•  Damaged ceilings requiring overboarding.


Many homes in Southampton still have artex ceilings, and it’s common to be concerned about possible asbestos.

In most cases, artex ceilings do not need to be removed. They can usually be safely covered by overboarding and skimming, creating a smooth, modern finish without the need for costly removal.

Where preparation work is required, it is carried out carefully and professionally to minimise disturbance and keep your home safe.


We cover Southampton, the New Forest and surrounding areas across Hampshire.
