Artex removal near Edgehill
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and loft conversions.
In a village like Edgehill, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
If your home is one of the older properties in Edgehill, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

If asbestos stays in the building:

Things not to do

DIY and asbestos
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Edgehill: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Edgehill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Edgehill?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is asbestos dangerous?
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.
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.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
