Artex removal near East Cholderton
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. Common materials are stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and rented flats before redecoration.
In a village like East Cholderton, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
