How artex removal works in Cassington
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From ceilings coming down and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
In towns and villages like Cassington, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Cassington
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
In older homes in Cassington, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- What category of work it is
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
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.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Keeping things safe:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Limits to be aware of
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and does not cover:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
For businesses and landlords in Cassington
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Common questions in Cassington
Do you cover Cassington from London?
Cassington is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Cassington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally 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.
How can I get a price?
