Artex removal for Burridge properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Burridge, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings damaged by leaks, involving coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Burridge have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What we deal with in Burridge
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings scraped during DIY
For rented flats close to Swanwick station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

Your options compared
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Every quote says whether VAT is included.

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
For businesses and landlords in Burridge
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Burridge must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
If your business premises in Burridge were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
Questions from Burridge
Do you come out to small villages like Burridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Burridge have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Typically not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
