The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry.

FAQs for GU16
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
