How artex removal works in St Mary in the Marsh
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 the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and damaged or cracked coatings, involving swirl patterns, textured walls and stipple finishes.
In a village like St Mary in the Marsh, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.
