Artex removal in Chilson
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Chilson, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and flaking textured ceilings.
Village homes like those in Chilson have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
Older homes across Chilson may have coatings added during past renovations.
Before booking anyone
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- How fibres will be kept down
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
Which option is right?
DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

Photos that help

- The parking area

- Damaged areas
- Approximate dimensions
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
What we do and do not cover
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We need the room cleared
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we see
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
Can I do it myself?
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.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
How it works
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. If anything unexpected turns up, we stop and talk to you before carrying on.
- Get in touch with photos
- We arrange testing
- We talk through the options
- We remove it safely if that’s what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Getting ready
- Tell us about anything that’s already damaged
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property
- Keep the area clear of children and pets

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Chilson: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Chilson homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Chilson can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Chilson home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
