Common reasons for Artex jobs in Goosey
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
In older properties, we often see:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before downlights go in
In older homes in Goosey, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Duty holders and landlords in Goosey

Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Limits to be aware of
Worth knowing before booking:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns

Doing it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Step by step
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. While we work, the area stays out of bounds.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Tell us about parking and access

Helpful guides
After the job
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Once we’re done:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
Don’ts
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Test before the builders arrive.
Materials, one by one
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Goosey: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Goosey?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Goosey from London?
Goosey is about 61 miles from central London, well within our area.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
How do I get a quote?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
