Artex removal in Alderholt
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Alderholt, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Common materials are coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and people generally contact us about coatings already disturbed and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In Alderholt, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Alderholt
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Alderholt
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Textured walls before a refit
Non-domestic buildings like St James' Church of England First School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

DIY and asbestos
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
FAQs for Alderholt
Could my house in Alderholt contain asbestos?
If your home in Alderholt was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Alderholt homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Does weather affect the work?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
