Artex removal in Aston
If your renovation in Aston involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. We often deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and swirl patterns, and people normally contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and extensions that cut into ceilings.
In places like Aston, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Aston
Do you cover small places like Aston?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Aston home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is my textured ceiling in Aston asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
If you manage or own a block in Aston, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
How it works
If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible. On the day, we check the area and talk you through the plan first.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Getting ready
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
Getting a price
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
