How artex removal works in Exton
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Exton, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include ceilings due for plastering or skimming and extensions that cut into ceilings, including Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
In towns and villages like Exton, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Keeping things safe:
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Common questions in Exton
Do you cover Exton from London?
Exton is about 57 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Exton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Nearby places to Exton
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Where asbestos turns up
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Walls before tiling
- Coatings already disturbed
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
Older homes across Exton may have coatings added during past renovations.
What your quote should include
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- The documents you’ll receive
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
Materials we deal with
