Artex removal near Allhallows
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Common materials are swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings before plastering and walls before tiling.
In towns and villages like Allhallows, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Allhallows: your questions answered
Could my house in Allhallows contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Allhallows may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Allhallows and the area around Chalkwell station?
Yes, we cover Allhallows and the area towards Chalkwell station, about 5 miles north.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Some practical advice:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards

- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Things not to do
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.

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.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
Dealing with asbestos before building work is usually cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
When you send photos, these help most:
- A photo of the whole area
- How we’d reach it
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
