How artex removal works in Dumpford
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From coatings already disturbed and ceilings before plastering, we cover stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses and more.
Rural homes near Dumpford have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

What we deal with in Dumpford
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Flaking textured ceilings
In older homes in Dumpford, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
DIY and asbestos
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
