Hello, the room next to the kitchen is the lounge with a more rounded texture to the ceiling compared to the sharp spikes in the kitchen. I read here artex usually finishes with an inch of smooth by the wall join. under the awful polystyrene coving is an inch strip of smooth.

Where the paint and artex/plaster has fallen off where a nail head is (see photo) you can see the 2 distinct layers.

I know testing is the only means. And I need to skim together rid of the polystyrene adhesive on the ceiling. The adhesive on the wallpaper will just remove and have a sandwich down of the plaster walls.

Hello all, first post here but have been aware of asbestos all my working life in void property security, working for social housing and clearing fly tipping etc.

Just wondering if anyone could shed further information. The shower has had a leak in 2020 and we think we have finally stopped it. I'd like to replace the kitchen ceiling where it's leaked as the mould has come through from the drenched plasterboard. The old paint is really like gloss and peeled off in big sheets where the water ingress occurred but Richard elsewhere. I init thought it was all artex but now not sure if it's gloss type old paint onto a skim of textured finish plaster.

The white paint is sharp spikes but underneath is a cream coloured layer that's more rounded lumps. Is this latter likely to be an artex or a paint finish to the bare plasterboard. The bits of cream layer has sparkles in like silica so I don't know if it's a skim of 1967 plaster and then they painted over it with textured paint.

Wasted years buying homages and Citizens/Seiko's when in actual fact I could've saved all that money/hassle buying and selling and bought a Seamaster. This one was worth the wait and years of fawning after ownership. 2010, one owner. Came with the blue rubber as well. I need to resize the bracelet as it came with 3 spare links.

I've thrown it on a single pass Geckota Bond just to get some wrist time. It was advertised needing a new battery as jumping 5 seconds but during eBay authentication they must've put one in so for now I'll keep it dry and just enjoy it.

Honestly this could be me- one and done. Absolute beauty. Citizen Promaster Tough as my daily beater at work and then will enjoy this- hasn't been repolished so may treat it to it for my 40th next year but it's in great condition.

Seal of approval from the cat as well. Just out it on a pvd hardware NATO from AliExpress.

After dinging my blue daily driver I saw a pristine 2nd hand blue on the bracelet and couldn't resist. Now I can wear my daily blue at work with no more worries if catching it on brick walls again!
