Artex removal near Cogges
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and coatings scraped during DIY, including coated ceiling roses, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In Cogges, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Cogges
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
If you’re refurbishing flats near Finstock station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
What happens next
Share the paperwork with your trades.
A few practical points:
- Give us room sizes
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Photos help us quote
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Can you help a business or landlord?

What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.

What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
