Artex removal in Jury's Gap
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. From ceilings coming down and rented flats before redecoration, we cover coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard and more.
In areas like Jury's Gap, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Give us room sizes
- Clear the rooms before the work
Don’ts
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

Doing it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Jury's Gap questions
Is the Artex in my Jury's Gap home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Jury's Gap?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Usually not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
