In a village like Abbotts Ann, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Questions from Abbotts Ann
Do you cover small places like Abbotts Ann?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Abbotts Ann have asbestos?
If your home in Abbotts Ann was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Responsibilities for owners
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
For managing agents and freeholders in Abbotts Ann, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
After we have finished in Abbotts Ann
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Staying safe afterwards:

- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Photos help us quote
Things not to do
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
What’s included, and what isn’t
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We need the room cleared
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
