How artex removal works in George Green
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about loft conversions and extensions and coatings already disturbed, including stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in George Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Typical Artex jobs in George Green
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before skimming
If your home is one of the older properties in George Green, near Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
Can I do it myself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.

Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Each has pros and cons, depending on the room. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so tell us about access.
