If you're looking for general asbestos removal information, then take a look at our asbestos removal service page. If I had to do it again I'd hire someone to tackle the job as there was a lot of mess and the task resulted in profanities and tears at times , however the product itself does warn that it's a difficult task. Fed up with big blogs that showcase amazing DIY and woodwork projects that I couldn't recreate without power tools, I started this blog for creative people without creative budgets. 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.
How long X-Tex needs to be left on an Artex or textured coating before scraping will be dependent on the condition of the wall or ceiling and if it has been subjected to multiple layers of paint over the years. If the Artex is heavily painted, it is advisable to remove the paint first with Biostrip PLUS prior to using Artex Remover. This time I was smarter and just took the entire plasterboard off from the ceiling and did almost no scraping (on at the edges to tidy up) - again just make sure the artex has gone soft by giving it a scrape first. I've been planning on replacing the doors and frames anyway, so that's not a major problem, but I'd need to do that first before fitting the ceiling. The scraper you use should simply slide under the Artex which you can tap into a bucket for disposal.
com founder Martin Lewis has warned that this is one of the biggest practical problems faced by students, with some now not having enough money to live on. We have hundreds of DIY project tutorials covering all aspects of building and DIY that provide step by step instructions on how to complete your given task.
Textured Coatings such as Artex® takes only 15-30 minutes – Textured Coatings plus 1-2 layers paint up to 1 hour – Multi-layered paint over textured coatings 1 hour to overnight. all I can say is that this goo is not particularly volatile (or if it is then it completely odourless) and so I haven't keeled over and died.
However, if you have other suspected asbestos fibres and materials or a project which involves more than the Artex then you may need a full asbestos survey. Formulated by Eco Solutions from the most advanced, innovative water-based technology using ” science not solvents”. Durostrip Artex Remover will not “wet” the underlying plaster, which minimises the risk of damaging the plaster when removing the softened artex.
We note here that Artex applied before 1970 very likely contains some asbestos fibres so if you believe that to be the case in your home we advise wearing a mask to remove the Artex.
Age of Artex: Not only may it contain asbestos it may also be damaged and cracked from the effects of time. Our guide lists the costs, information and factors to consider when repairing or replacing your ceiling. Depth of Artex: Depending on the professional who added the Artex, it may be thicker or thinner than other ceilings. Ryan's Mummy: great to have user testimony - thanks - were you able to paint the walls straight after or did they need additional prep (in short, does it take the plaster off as well). The British companies approach is science not solvents and all of their products are completely solvent free relying on ground breaking world-leading technologies.
