Artex removal in Glympton
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Glympton. From flaking textured ceilings and loft conversions, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Glympton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Glympton: your questions answered
Do older homes in Glympton have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Glympton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
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, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.

Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
For businesses and landlords in Glympton
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
For managing agents and freeholders in Glympton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
