Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
Why us?

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Aldworth
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before plastering
- Flaking textured ceilings
A school like The Downs School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Duty holders and landlords in Aldworth
