Plastering and Livingston homes

Livingston is a 1960s new town, with early Development Corporation housing in Craigshill, Howden and Ladywell, private estates in Murieston, Eliburn and Bellsquarry, and continuing new-build development on the town's edges.

Artex ceilings are common in homes from this era. Artex applied before 2000 can contain asbestos, so get it tested before sanding or scraping.
Ex-council houses from the 1960s–90s often have artex ceilings, and artex applied before 2000 may contain asbestos. Test before sanding or scraping.
Newer homes are mostly plasterboard, so common jobs are skimming, patching settlement cracks and boarding lofts.

Areas covered include Craigshill, Ladywell, Howden, Dedridge, Knightsridge, Deans, Eliburn, Murieston, Adambrae, Bellsquarry, Kirkton, Livingston Village. Local authority: West Lothian Council.
