Updating Your Interior Walls and CeilingsThat classic 'stipple' or 'swirl' effect on your ceilings, commonly known as Artex, often contains white asbestos (chrysotile). While it is generally safe if left alone, it becomes a major health hazard the moment you try to sand it down or scrape it off for a modern, smooth finish. We provide Artex and textured coating removal across Derbyshire, using controlled methods to ensure your living space remains safe.We don't just 'scrape and hope.' We use fibre-trapping techniques and wet methods to peel back the layers without creating dangerous dust. This is essential for protecting your family from long-term health risks like mesothelioma or asbestosis. Once the coating is removed, we perform a thorough site decontamination and cleanup, leaving the area ready for your plasterer to give you that smooth, modern look you're after.
