About our artex removal in Easton
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Easton. Typical materials include coated plasterboard, textured walls and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are loft conversions and extensions and coatings scraped during DIY.
Village homes like those in Easton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

What we do and don’t cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date

If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
We test each different coating.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before skimming
Older homes across Easton may have coatings added during past renovations.

Easton questions
Do you come out to small villages like Easton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Easton home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs can’t start until they’ve been notified.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
How much does Artex removal cost in Easton?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
