Artex removal for Whitehill
Artex removal near Whitehill
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Whitehill. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and people usually contact us about rented flats before redecoration and coatings in the way of electrical work.
Homes in towns and villages like Whitehill may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
