  • Spotlights on the old Artex ceiling

    Hello, I’m buying a house. It has Artex ceilings ( May have asbestos as the house is from 70s) I want to have spot lights installedIn the living room and kitchen and the ceiling plastered and skimmed. Do I have to get the ceilings plastered first and then lights installed? What are the safety considerations around making holes in a ceiling that possibly contains asbestos. The bedrooms above have carpets and floorboards underneath ( as I was told) Thank you

    What’s the best way to remove artex from walls?

    Hello all, A property I have bought recently has thick artex across most walls and some ceilings. It has been tested for asbestos and received a negative result, thankfully. I would like to have most of these walls replastered over time and have the artex removed. Having tried a steamer and some sanding options, I’ve not been too successful. What would be the best option for me to remove all the artex while keeping the mess under control?
