How artex removal works in Fulbrook
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Whether it’s rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we cover swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings and more.
Village homes like those in Fulbrook have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Helpful guides
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Fulbrook
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before tiling
For rented flats close to Shipton station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Before you book anyone
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What category of work it is
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- If the price includes VAT
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Fulbrook: your questions answered
Do you cover Fulbrook and the area around Shipton station?
Yes, we cover Fulbrook and the area towards Shipton station, about 3.8 miles north.
Could my house in Fulbrook contain asbestos?
If your home in Fulbrook was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you manage or own a block in Fulbrook, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
