Artex removal for Clanfield
Artex removal for Clanfield properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, textured walls and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by DIY and flaking textured ceilings.
In a village like Clanfield, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

How we price Artex removal
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How much there is
- The survey scope
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Helpful guides
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What we deal with in Clanfield
Many trades want a test result first.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings before skimming
- Landlord refurbishments
If your home is one of the older properties in Clanfield, near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
