Artex removal in Horton
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and people usually contact us about ceilings coming down and coatings already disturbed.
In a village like Horton, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

What we deal with in Horton
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings already disturbed
A school like St Mary's CofE (Aided) Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Your questions about Artex removal in Horton
Do you come out to small villages like Horton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Horton from London?
We cover Horton, about 13 miles from central London.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is normally needed.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Is my textured ceiling in Horton asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Once we’re done:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Photos help us quote
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
