Common reasons for Artex jobs in Avon Castle
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings coming down
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Textured walls before a refit
Non-domestic buildings like St Ives Primary & Nursery School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Artex removal near Avon Castle
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by DIY and flaking textured ceilings.
Village homes like those in Avon Castle have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Common questions in Avon Castle
Do you work on properties in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Do textured ceilings in Avon Castle homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
A small sample from each different coating tells you whether it contains asbestos.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- How much there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How easy it is to reach
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
Photo tips:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- A close-up from a safe distance
