Artex removal near Church Enstone
How artex removal works in Church Enstone
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical jobs include ceilings before skimming and coatings damaged by leaks, including coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Church Enstone have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Church Enstone: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Church Enstone homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Church Enstone contain asbestos?
If your home in Church Enstone was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help a business or landlord?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
