Artex removal near Clifton Hampden
Artex removal in Clifton Hampden
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. We often deal with textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and textured walls before a refit.
In a village like Clifton Hampden, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Give us room sizes
- Clear the rooms before the work
Avoid these
Test before the builders arrive.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Questions from Clifton Hampden
Do you work near Culham station?
Yes, we cover Clifton Hampden and the area towards Culham station, about 1.1 miles west.
Is asbestos common in Clifton Hampden homes?
If your home in Clifton Hampden was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
