Artex removal near Adgestone
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical materials include textured walls, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about ceilings before plastering and walls before tiling.
Village homes like those in Adgestone have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Adgestone: your questions answered
Do you work near Sandown station?
Yes, we cover Adgestone and the area towards Sandown station, about 1.1 miles south.
Do you cover small places like Adgestone?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you cover Adgestone?
We do: Adgestone is within the area we cover in the Isle of Wight. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings before plastering
For rented flats close to Sandown station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
