Artex removal for Apuldram properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From loft conversions and extensions and rented flats before redecoration, we deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
In areas like Apuldram, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Apuldram: your questions answered
Could my house in Apuldram contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Apuldram may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Apuldram?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Loft conversions
