My house has the living room ceiling, part of the front room staircase and porce artexed. I want to get rid of this, but wondered if it needs to be removed, or can it just be skimmed over. The porch artex is already peeling off.
If it needs to be removed, am I resigned to scraping it off or is there another way.
I have also had it mentioned to me that some older artexed can contain asbestos..... As far as I know the artex was put on around the 1990 to 91 mark. It's been drilled into countless times and sanded in some areas previously, no issues encountered. House was built in 1973.
I would welcome any advice.
Thanks.
