Artex removal near Clatterford
Artex removal near Clatterford
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Clatterford, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical materials include swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and people usually contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings coming down.
Rural homes near Clatterford have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
Why choose us
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Reports and results you can share
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.

Common questions in Clatterford
Could my house in Clatterford contain asbestos?
Any home in Clatterford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Clatterford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
