Artex removal for Charlton-on-Otmoor properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From rented flats before redecoration and ceilings before plastering, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
In places like Charlton-on-Otmoor, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.
