Artex removal in Heathfield
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are loft conversions and landlord refurbishments.
Homes in areas like Heathfield may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.
