About our artex removal in Crow
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and walls before tiling.
In a village like Crow, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Where asbestos turns up
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, which can make them crumble.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by DIY
Non-domestic buildings like Ringwood Junior School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
Duty holders and landlords in Crow
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Crow must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Prices and what affects them
Quotes vary because of:
- How much waste there is
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Approximate dimensions
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- How we’d reach it
- A clear close-up
Unsure whether you need a test, a survey or removal? Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749, and we will recommend the right option.
Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Questions from Crow
Do textured ceilings in Crow homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Crow?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
Looking after things afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep pets away
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Every quote says whether VAT is included, so you can compare like with like.
