Builders Newcastle Property Tips

If you are fed up with out of date ugly Artex ceilings or walls

If the texture of the artex is not too thick or pointed we can bond over without taking down plasterboards.

How we do it?

• To Guarantee that all your artex is covered in PVA, uni bond, both adhesives that offer a key to smooth or dry surfaces.
• When mixing up your PVA or uni bond add a little food colour dye.
• Once fully dry you can see if any area of the ceiling needs to be covered.
• Alternatively if you want to leave to the experts go to www.buildersnewcastle.com and get a free site survey.
• Plastering over artex really does offer a fresh and attractive smooth finish, there is a chance that if you had your ceiling or walls artexed over 20 yrs ago asbestos will be in the mix and advisable to call out an expert.

Once again www.buildersnewcastle.com can help you with this or any other plastering or building projects.

Some Winter tips from builders newcastle.

1. Let builders newcastle clean your gutter and install gutter leaf guards to stop drain pipes clogging up, or worse water getting under slates/tiles possibly causing major problems.
2. Let builders newcastle provide you with free roof survey, for a small cost we will replace tiles/slates and re point/re place ridge tiles. These can be a problem in the winter, a cracked ridge tile that cannot be seen down below will take in water or snow, freeze and crack falling down roof and leaving a huge hole in your roof open to the elements.
3. Find your stop cock, if you can't for a small call out fee builders newcastle will find it for you, also provide a key if you haven't got one! If you get a burst pipe this winter we will save you a fortune on lost water or water - flood damage.
