Artex Removal

What We Do
Artexing was a popular form of decorating used in the 1970’s/
80’s but today, many people prefer to have the artex removed
to achieve smooth walls and ceilings.
Although the terminology used is “Artex Removal” it is important not
to remove the peaks by physically scraping the artex off the walls as
certain types of artex were made with asbestos. This can possibly be
harmful to someone’s health if the dust particles are breathed in,
therefore, the artex should be left intact and skimmed over with
plaster.
This method assumes the walls and ceilings are completely solid and
able to take the extra weight of material required to smooth over the
thickness of the artex.
If the artex is damaged due to water ingress and requires removal
prior to plastering, the onus is on the customer to arrange for a test
certificate to confirm whether the artex contains any asbestos.
