How artex removal works in East Claydon
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Common materials are swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed.
Rural homes near East Claydon have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Duty holders and landlords in East Claydon
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
East Claydon: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in East Claydon homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in East Claydon can contain it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you come out to small villages like East Claydon?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.

The scope of Artex removal
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
Materials we see
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
Why people call us in East Claydon
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before skimming
In older homes in East Claydon, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
