Why people call us in Great Rollright
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings before downlights go in
For a school such as Great Rollright Church of England (Aided) Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Great Rollright must manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
How we work
We bag and label the waste as we work, for disposal at a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.

- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork

Questions from Great Rollright
Do textured ceilings in Great Rollright homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Great Rollright contain asbestos?
If your home in Great Rollright was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Your options compared
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
