About our artex removal in Marsh Gibbon
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s ceilings due for plastering or skimming and damaged or cracked coatings, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls and more.
In areas like Marsh Gibbon, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.
