About our artex removal in Enfield Island Village
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From damaged or cracked coatings and coatings damaged by DIY, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Enfield Island Village, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.
