Artex removal near Kingsgate
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Kingsgate. Common materials are coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and people typically contact us about textured walls before a refit and ceilings coming down.
Village homes like those in Kingsgate have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.
