Artex removal near Codmore Hill
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From loft conversions and coatings damaged by leaks, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes and more.
In towns and villages like Codmore Hill, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.
