Artex removal in Fulmer
Artex removal near Fulmer
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From structural work through coated ceilings and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings and more.
In areas like Fulmer, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What it might be made of
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Step by step
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
How to prepare
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Move things out of the way carefully

- Send photos of the coatings
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Common questions in Fulmer
Do you cover Fulmer from London?
We cover Fulmer, about 20 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Fulmer have asbestos?
Any home in Fulmer built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.

Good to know
The usual limits are:
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
