About our artex removal in Duns Tew
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From coatings scraped during DIY and landlord refurbishments, we deal with coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls and more.
Village homes like those in Duns Tew have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about Artex removal in Duns Tew
Do you cover Duns Tew from London?
Duns Tew is about 62 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Duns Tew homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and don’t clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

Common situations in older properties include:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
Older homes across Duns Tew may have coatings added during past renovations.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- The scope of the job, in writing
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
