Artex removal for Bodicote properties
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical jobs include walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and rented homes refurbished between tenants, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
In Bodicote, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.
