About our artex removal in Soberton Heath
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include ceilings before skimming and coatings in the way of electrical work, including Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In a village like Soberton Heath, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.
