Artex removal near Arreton
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings coming down, we deal with Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Arreton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Arreton questions
Do older homes in Arreton have asbestos?
If your home in Arreton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Arreton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Arreton, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Looking after things afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets away
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Test before the builders arrive.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
