Artex removal for Ipsden
Artex removal in Ipsden
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. From landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we cover stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns and more.
Village homes like those in Ipsden have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that is needed.

Ipsden: your questions answered
Do textured ceilings in Ipsden homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Ipsden from London?
We cover Ipsden, about 43 miles from central London.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Some practical advice:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Clear the rooms before the work
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials in Ipsden

Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why people choose us
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
