Artex removal in Chaddleworth
About our artex removal in Chaddleworth
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. People often contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings already disturbed, including swirl patterns, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Chaddleworth have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
For businesses and landlords in Chaddleworth
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Typical Artex jobs in Chaddleworth
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Textured walls before a refit
A school like Chaddleworth St Andrew's C.E. Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Common questions in Chaddleworth
Do you cover small places like Chaddleworth?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Send the details.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
What we do and do not cover
A few things to be aware of:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
