Artex removal for Brown Candover
How artex removal works in Brown Candover
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and coatings damaged by leaks, we cover textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In places like Brown Candover, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.
