Does my Eastwood home need an asbestos test before removal?

If your Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights home predates 1990, we recommend a bulk-sample test before removal. We walk Abbottsfield, Alberta Avenue, Beacon Heights homeowners through the process and schedule around the result you want.

Should the popcorn be scraped or skimmed over?

It depends whether it releases. We test a patch: texture that softens cleanly gets scraped; texture that has been painted will not soften, and scraping tears the board face, so skimming over is better.

Can you do just one room?

Yes, but a flat white ceiling next to an aged popcorn one shows clearly at the doorway in both texture and colour. We will point out the natural stopping points so the decision is deliberate.

Asbestos, and the pre-1990 question

Scraping is the risk

Popcorn texture in Eastwood homes from before roughly 1990 can contain asbestos, and scraping is exactly the activity that makes it airborne.

What we do

Where the age is uncertain and the material unknown, it gets tested before anyone scrapes. If it is present, skimming over it without disturbance is often both safer and cheaper than removal.

Skim coats and drying time

Thin, and more than one

Bringing a scraped Eastwood ceiling to flat takes two or three thin skim coats with drying between, then sanding.

Why it cannot be compressed

A heavy coat shrinks and cracks, usually appearing weeks later once the room is back in use. We quote the real schedule rather than the one that sounds faster at the door.
