Artex removal in Middleton
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include landlord refurbishments and loft conversions and extensions, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Middleton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Looking after things afterwards

A few practical points:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Photos help us quote

Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
