Artex removal in Coleshill
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Whether it’s rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings already disturbed, we cover coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Coleshill have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Typical Artex jobs in Coleshill
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings damaged by DIY
A school like Coleshill Church of England Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Coleshill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Coleshill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work on properties in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Typically you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Coleshill asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
The process
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and the room stays closed. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.

Helpful guides
Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
