Hi,
I'm looking to get rid of artex finished walls in the bedroom and been looking into it. The ceiling is fine.
Replastering is one option - but money's tight at the mo and we've been quoted over £1000 for the 3.5m x 4m bedroom which seems a lot.
Been looking at stripping options - steaming and that x-tex stuff (might buy a small tub and try it). But having second thoughts with the asbestos warnings about old artex.
So would really welcome a few recommendations....
Does anyone know a reasonable plasterer in north London (Barnet way) that's not going to charge a fortune?
Who would be the best person to ask (local council etc) about testing the walls for asbestos?
Any other thoughts welcome.
Cheers,
Steve
