How artex removal works in Plaitford Green
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by leaks and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, involving stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In a village like Plaitford Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
