Why people call us in Compton
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
If your home is one of the older properties in Compton, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What category of work it is
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- What paperwork you get
Artex removal near Compton
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Typical jobs include flaking textured ceilings and loft conversions and extensions, involving Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Compton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Compton

Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it

Compton questions
Is the Artex in my Compton home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Compton from London?
Compton is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
What if my house is newer?
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Compton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
