People often contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and loft conversions and extensions, including textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
In towns and villages like Sinkhurst Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.
