Artex removal in Chillerton
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. We often deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are coatings already disturbed and structural work through coated ceilings.
In towns and villages like Chillerton, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Can I do it myself?

DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Chillerton questions
Is asbestos common in Chillerton homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chillerton can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Chillerton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
What it costs
Every quote reflects:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The quantity or area
- The category of work
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What to photograph
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- How we’d reach it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Labels, if any
- Where we could park
To get a quote, call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
