About our artex removal in Chislet
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s ceilings before skimming and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Chislet, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Can I stay at home while you work?
