The problems we solve

Stop noticing your ceiling for the wrong reasons.

A tired ceiling pulls attention away from the rest of your home. Whether it's cracked, stained, artex, uneven or simply dated, Stretcharama gives you a cleaner, more considered alternative to traditional ceiling replacement.

Cracked ceilings

Create a flawless new surface without repeatedly patching, filling and repainting the same problem.

Stained ceilings

Replace the visual reminder of old marks, water damage or tired decoration with a clean modern finish.

Artex ceilings

Modernise dated textured ceilings without the mess and uncertainty of traditional removal or replastering.

Outdated rooms

Make the whole space feel cleaner, brighter and more complete with the ceiling finally finished properly.

Condensation and mould on a bathroom ceiling

Damp & condensation

The membrane is a complete vapour barrier, so steam can't reach the ceiling above and mould has no surface to grow on. Common in bathrooms and kitchens.

The specialist alternative

Before you replaster, repaint or put up with it — look at this first.

Your old ceiling stays where it is. We install a flawless new stretch ceiling beneath it, creating a clean architectural surface without the dust, drying time and disruption of traditional plastering.

For many homeowners, this is the moment the ceiling stops being a problem and becomes one of the cleanest, most considered surfaces in the room.

Artex & asbestos

Thinking about getting rid of Artex? Read this first.

If your Artex went up before 2000, it may contain asbestos. That doesn't make it dangerous where it is — undisturbed, in good condition, it generally isn't a risk. The danger comes from disturbing it.

Sanding, scraping or removing textured coating can release fibres. That's why proper removal means licensed contractors, containment and controlled disposal — and why it costs what it does before you've even started on the new ceiling.

A stretch ceiling takes a different route. We encapsulate the Artex — fitting a new ceiling beneath it, leaving the original completely untouched and sealed away.

The perimeter track fixes to your walls, not the ceiling, so in most installations nothing is drilled into the Artex at all. No sanding, no scraping, no fibres released, no specialist removal.

For many homeowners that's the moment the project becomes affordable. You're not paying for asbestos removal and a new ceiling — you're paying for one job that solves the problem.

Compare all five options for an Artex ceiling — skimming, overboarding, covering, encapsulation products and full removal, side by side.

No removal

The original ceiling stays exactly where it is, sealed behind the new surface.

Usually one day

No containment, no drying time, no weeks of disruption in the room.

Nothing disturbed

Track fixes to the walls, so in most cases nothing goes into the Artex at all.

Why it changes the room

From a ceiling you dislike to a room you love again.

A poor ceiling makes even a beautiful room feel unfinished. A Stretcharama ceiling gives you a smooth, precise and modern fifth wall that improves the whole space — not just the surface above you.

Living spaces

Calm, plain ceilings that make the room feel complete.

Kitchens

Clean modern surfaces without making lighting feel overdesigned.

Bedrooms

Soft, understated ceilings for calm residential interiors.

Matt, satin, gloss and lighting

Choose the ceiling finish your room deserves.

A stretch ceiling doesn't have to look futuristic or heavily lit. Many Stretcharama ceilings are designed to look calm, traditional and beautifully understated.

Matt

For a calm, traditional finish that looks like a perfectly plastered ceiling — without the plastering.

Satin

For a soft, refined surface that gently lifts light without feeling highly reflective.

Gloss

For statement interiors, pools and rooms where reflection, depth and light matter.

Lighting-integrated

For perimeter lighting, backlit features or atmospheric details where the room calls for it.

Compare the routes

Not just a cover-up. A specialist ceiling system.

This isn't about hiding a bad ceiling cheaply. It's about choosing a clean, durable and beautiful ceiling system installed by people who understand the product, the finish and the home it's going into.

Premium, not price-led

For homeowners who care about the finish.

Stretcharama isn't built around quick fixes or price-led ceiling work. We're built around specialist advice, careful installation, clean working practices and long-term confidence.

If you're looking for the cheapest way to cover a ceiling, we may not be the right fit. If you want the ceiling done beautifully, with a team that explains the options properly, we should talk.

The ceiling is the largest surface most people ignore.

When it's cracked, stained or dated, it quietly pulls the whole room down. When it's finished properly, the room immediately feels cleaner, brighter and more valuable.
