Our Step-by-Step Popcorn Ceiling Removal Process
-
Step 1 Initial Consultation in Newtown
We start by visiting your property—whether it's near Kardinia Park or tucked behind the Newtown & Chilwell Cricket Club. We assess the ceiling condition, check for asbestos risk (safely and discreetly), and provide a detailed, transparent quote.
-
Step 2 Surface Preparation & Protection
We cover floors, walls, and furniture with drop cloths and plastic sheeting. Vents are sealed, and our dust extraction tools are set up to keep things clean. (Your pets and plants will thank us.)
-
Step 3 Ceiling Moistening & Texture Loosening
We gently mist the popcorn texture to soften it—reducing airborne dust and making removal easier. This step is crucial for safe, non-damaging removal of the old texture.
-
Step 4 Manual Removal of Texture
Using specialised handheld tools, we carefully scrape away the popcorn texture. No gouging, no shortcuts. Just steady, experienced hands removing decades-old ceilings (and regret).
-
Step 5 Ceiling Repairs & Skim Coating
Once stripped, we repair any imperfections. Uneven patches? Gone. Then we apply a smooth skim coat for a flawless finish—ready for priming and paint.
-
Step 6 Painting & Finishing Touches
We prime and paint the newly smoothed ceiling using premium, low-VOC paints. Choose from matte, satin, or low-sheen finishes—whatever suits your space best.
-
Step 7 Final Inspection & Clean-up
We walk through the project with you, ensure you're happy (and impressed), and clean up thoroughly. No dust, no debris, just smooth ceilings and satisfied smiles.
