- Cornicing and ceiling roses with precise hand-cutting
- Water damage and staining treatment before repainting

Post-war semis in Finham and Cheylesmore commonly have Artex ceilings from the 1960s and 70s. Artex must be assessed before any topcoat, as applying paint directly over poorly adhering Artex causes failure within months.

Ceiling Painting Services
Specialist ceiling work for every property type across Coventry.
Smooth Ceiling Painting
Getting an even finish without roller marks, tram lines, or lap marks requires the right paint consistency and correct roller technique. We use the right roller for each ceiling type.
Ceilings in modern properties with plasterboard need a sealing coat first if newly skimmed. Existing painted ceilings need light sanding before recoating.
Artex Ceiling Assessment
Artex ceilings in 1960s and 70s post-war stock across Finham, Binley, and Tile Hill must be assessed before any topcoat. Poorly adhering Artex painted directly will fail.
We check adhesion before quoting. Where Artex is sound, we coat with a stabilising sealer before topcoating. Where Artex is loose, we advise on the options.
Cornicing and Ceiling Roses
Original cornicing and ceiling roses in Earlsdon and Styvechale period properties are the most unforgiving detail on a ceiling. A poorly cut line at the cornice is visible from anywhere in the room.
We hand-cut at the cornice and ceiling junction. Ceiling roses are masked where appropriate and finished by hand at the detail.
Water Damage and Staining
Brown water stains on ceilings often come from roof or pipework leaks. Painting directly over a water stain results in bleed-through. The stain must be sealed with a shellac-based primer.
We treat stains before topcoating and advise on the cause of the staining if it is not already resolved.
High Ceilings
High ceilings in Kenilworth Victorian detached and Royal Leamington Spa Georgian properties require safe platform access. Ladder work alone is not appropriate for extended cutting-in at height.
We use correct platform access on high ceilings. Access equipment costs are included in the quote.

Our Ceiling Painting Process
1. Site Visit and Artex Assessment
We visit the room and assess all ceiling surfaces. Artex is checked for adhesion. Stains are noted. Cornicing and roses are identified.
2. Surface Preparation
Water stains are treated with a shellac-based primer. Loose Artex is stabilised. Hairline cracks in smooth plaster are filled. New plasterboard gets a sealing coat.
3. Access Setup
Appropriate access equipment is set up for the ceiling height. Furniture and flooring are protected before painting begins.
4. Paint Application
Ceilings are painted in even overlapping passes. Edges at cornicing and coving are brush-cut first. Two full coats are standard.
5. Final Inspection
We inspect the ceiling in different light conditions. Roller marks, missed edges, and any uneven coverage are corrected before handover.
