Artex removal near Foulford
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. We often deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are textured walls before a refit and coatings scraped during DIY.
In a village like Foulford, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Looking after things afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Keep pets away
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Your options compared
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.

Foulford questions
Do you cover small places like Foulford?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Foulford contain asbestos?
Any home in Foulford built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is my textured ceiling in Foulford asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
