Artex Ceiling Removal in Swindon
Artex makes a room look dated, but removing it is the one job with a safety gate: any ceiling textured before 2000 must be tested for asbestos before anything touches the surface. The test takes days and costs a few tens of pounds.
What the work involves
Typical scope for this job — your plasterer confirms the details on site.
- Asbestos test through a UKAS-accredited lab, before any work
- Skim over if sound — one day, no dust, pattern gone
- Board over if cracked or uneven — a fresh flat base
- Licensed removal only if the test is positive and you want it gone
What it costs
Skimming over a sound ceiling is about one day at the £230/day Swindon rate; boarding adds materials and a second day; licensed removal is priced case by case and is the most expensive route by a wide margin.
