Artex removal for Coneyhurst
Artex removal for Coneyhurst properties
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 Coneyhurst. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Coneyhurst have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.

Your questions about Artex removal in Coneyhurst
Do you cover small places like Coneyhurst?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Coneyhurst homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Coneyhurst asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.
