Artex removal in Wooburn
If your renovation in Wooburn involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Typical jobs include walls before tiling and coatings damaged by DIY, involving coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
In places like Wooburn, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
