Artex Ceilings that contains asbestos

Posted by Mariglen Zyka, on
Hi I have some artex ceilings in the flat where i currenlty live. Would it be best to plasterboard them over and how can it be fixed to the ceiling, or go for the more costly removal option? Thank you for your reply

You can potentially plaster over the top depending on thickness of arsed. You can over board but need to make holes in original ceiling to find joists and screw to them. Other option is put in false ceiling but that depends on original ceiling height. You can contact me for more info . Thanks

If they contain asbestos then they should be removed by a registered contractor before fitting new a can not be drilled
