Typical Artex jobs in Barton Stacey
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Walls before tiling
- Coatings already disturbed
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
For a school such as Barton Stacey Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

Artex removal near Barton Stacey
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings before plastering and loft conversions and extensions.
In areas like Barton Stacey, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Barton Stacey
Do you cover small places like Barton Stacey?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Barton Stacey contain asbestos?
If your home in Barton Stacey was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Weighing up your options
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

How we price Artex removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access to the area
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
- Material and condition
Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- Street parking nearby
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
Not sure what you need? Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form and describe the problem, and we’ll recommend the right option.
Doing it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
