Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Your options compared
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Bloodden questions
Do textured ceilings in Bloodden homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Bloodden contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Some practical advice:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
