Artex removal for Foxendown
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before plastering
- Textured walls before a refit
If your home is one of the older properties in Foxendown, near Parish Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Before booking anyone
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- Which areas and materials are covered

Foxendown: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Foxendown?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in Foxendown homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
