Artex removal near Delly End
How artex removal works in Delly End
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Delly End. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and walls before tiling.
In a village like Delly End, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Places near Delly End
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Licensed or non-licensed
- How many samples are needed
- The quantity or area
When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
What to photograph
Helpful photos:
- A clear close-up
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
Include any existing survey or test when you fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Responsibilities for owners
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
After the job
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Going forward:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Give us room sizes
- Clear the rooms before the work
- File the test result and waste note
Things not to do
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Loft conversions
For a school such as Hailey Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.

Common questions in Delly End
Is asbestos common in Delly End homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Delly End and the area around Finstock station?
Yes. Finstock station is about 2.6 miles north of Delly End, and we cover both.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Typically you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
