Inspect and check
The textured coating and its background are assessed, with appropriate testing arranged where the material should not be disturbed without it.
Artex and textured coatings
From textured coatings to a smooth, modern finish.
Careful assessment and the appropriate preparation method for Artex and other textured walls and ceilings across Derby.
The correct method depends on the existing coating.
A textured surface does not always need to be stripped back. Depending on its condition, the appropriate route may involve preparation and skimming, overboarding or controlled removal.
The coating and background are assessed for damage, movement and adhesion before work is recommended. Older textured coatings may require asbestos testing before work that could disturb them.
Once a safe and practical method has been agreed, the surrounding area is protected and the surface is prepared for a consistent plaster finish ready for decoration.
