Artex removal near Botolph Claydon
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical materials include swirl patterns, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and people generally contact us about ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and extensions that cut into ceilings.
In a village like Botolph Claydon, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

FAQs for Botolph Claydon
Do older homes in Botolph Claydon have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like Botolph Claydon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Typically not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
