Artex removal near Foley Park
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. From structural work through coated ceilings and loft conversions and extensions, we deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes and more.
In a smaller place like Foley Park, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.
