Asbestos help in Clayhill
Artex removal in Clayhill
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Clayhill. Common materials are textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and people generally contact us about loft conversions and extensions and structural work through coated ceilings.
Village homes like those in Clayhill have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What we do and do not cover
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
What we deal with
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
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.
