Artex removal near Corhampton
About our artex removal in Corhampton
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about ceilings before downlights go in and loft conversions, including textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Corhampton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Corhampton questions
Do you cover small places like Corhampton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Corhampton contain asbestos?
If your home in Corhampton was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you cover Corhampton?
Yes, Corhampton is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- The category of work
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Photos that help
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- An overall view
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Where we could park
- A clear close-up
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Corhampton
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Coatings damaged by DIY
For a school such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
What to look for in a quote
- The scope of the job, in writing
- VAT, clearly stated
- The documents you will receive
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
A few practical points:
- File the test result and waste note
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep pets away
- Empty the rooms in advance
Don’ts
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. Our quotes are clear about VAT.
