Artex removal near Fyfield
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Fyfield. We often deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
In places like Fyfield, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Landlord refurbishments
If your home is one of the older properties in Fyfield, near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include

Duty holders and landlords in Fyfield
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Common questions in Fyfield
Do you cover small places like Fyfield?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Fyfield homes?
Any home in Fyfield built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What it costs
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The type of material and its condition
- Travel and parking
- How easy it is to reach
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- The parking area
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- A rough size or measurement
- A clear close-up
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We need the room cleared
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Common materials
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Once we’re done:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Keep the results and paperwork
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
