Artex removal in Gordon Hill
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical jobs include walls before tiling and coatings already disturbed, including stipple finishes, swirl patterns and textured walls.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Gordon Hill, often painted over many times. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

DIY and asbestos
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Duty holders and landlords in Gordon Hill
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Gordon Hill, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Questions from Gordon Hill
Is asbestos common in Gordon Hill homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Gordon Hill can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Gordon Hill home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
How much does Artex removal cost in Gordon Hill?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Weighing up your options
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Domestic and commercial work
- Reports and results you can share
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Waste taken to a permitted site with a consignment note

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- 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
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we deal with
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, but the coating underneath is the same.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
After we’ve finished in Gordon Hill
Covered coatings should be recorded.
To avoid problems in future:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Test every different coating
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Don’ts
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
