Artex removal

[quattro]

How can I get rid of Artex questions from the home and garden site they seem to turn up every few days perhaps we could have an Artex section solely for the discussion of ARTEX!

I think that there should be a whole website devoted to the subject .. I must have answered it at least half a dozen times! so far!!

It's that horrible HORRIBLE lumpy nothing on walls (see http://www.artex.20m.com/images/artex-frontpage-2.

Apparently they looked like they were doing the conger for a fortnight

I have used X-Tex Textured Coatings Remover on my whole house to remove artex from walls and ceilings.It is brushed on and left for a couple of hours. In some cases you can leave it on overnight if the artex is painted. The just scrape it off. It also works on pre 1985 artex containing asbestos, as it keeps the artex wet and does not let any fibres into the air. There are no fumes and it is totally safe so it wont burn your skin like other removers or steam method. I bought it from decorating direct.
