Artex removal in Brize Norton
About our artex removal in Brize Norton
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Brize Norton, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical materials include stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and coatings already disturbed.
Rural homes near Brize Norton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that’s needed.
