How artex removal works in Ardington
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, involving textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Ardington have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Ardington questions
Do you come out to small villages like Ardington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Ardington from London?
We cover Ardington, about 56 miles from central London.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.

Your options compared
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

- Access: height, lofts, steps and space

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What it might be made of
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Should you do it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
