Artex removal near East Burnham
Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Artex removal in East Burnham
If your renovation in East Burnham involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are ceilings before skimming and loft conversions and extensions.
Rural homes near East Burnham have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.
