Artex removal in Deddington
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s ceilings before skimming and extensions that cut into ceilings, we cover Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In a village like Deddington, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
FAQs for Deddington
Do textured ceilings in Deddington homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Deddington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you cover Deddington?
Yes, Deddington is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- 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
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Deddington
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
In older properties, we often see:
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before plastering
For a school such as Deddington Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

What affects the price in Deddington
What changes the cost:
- How much waste there is

- The survey scope
- Access to the area
There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- The access route
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- An idea of size

What happens next
Share the paperwork with your trades.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Send photos of the coatings
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
What happens
Our team wears protective equipment, and the room stays closed. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Let us know where we can park
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
