About this deal
If you need a little help then we also have an active question and answer forum and a find a trademan service and much more. The actual hall ceiling also appears to have been painted with Artex, so I applied the X-Tex to that at the same time. The surface to which the asbestos Artex is applied will determine the way in which it can be safely removed and that in turn will affect the cost. X-Tex® allows the removal of textured coatings such as *Artex® without causing dust from harmful asbestos fibres.
Maybe due to our lack of skill, we found we made lots of little divots in the wall and once we finally completed the removal we had to skim them to make good. Below we list the branches disappearing and what the alternatives are if you still want face-to-face banking.Trade Strip X-Tex is designed for the safe removal of textured coatings such as Artex, without the disruption to potentially hazardous fibres such as asbestos. The main asbestos removal technique is to remove the plasterboard in full with the asbestos Artex still attached. Just think what all that paint stripper tipped down the drains and poured into our landfills has down to our eco systems !
This product offers the safe removal of textured coatings such as Artex in various environments as it is non-flammable, non-combustible, and will not burn the skin. Artex ceilings completed before 1985 will almost certainly contain asbestos and those added between 1985 and 2000 may still do so. We applied the X-Tex using a 4-inch emulsion brush but some decorators we know use a plasterers float or a wide scraper to apply a thick layer on the surface. I suspect it is more about the type of exposure, long term or regular working in confined spaces with fine dust, like mechanics blowing brake dust out with an air line or installing asbestos in building work. I have spent weeks trying to remove our hallway artex, 2 layers (why oh why did the previous owners decide to artex over artex?In the 60s and 70s, houses were being constructed quickly and there weren’t enough plasterers to go around. Artex was applied to thousands upon thousands of houses from 1970 to 1990 because it was so much cheaper and easier to apply than plaster.
