Asbestos help in Church Norton
Artex removal in Church Norton
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. From extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Church Norton have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
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.
If you run a business from older premises in Church Norton, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
