How artex removal works in Kingham
If your renovation in Kingham involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Typical jobs include ceilings due for plastering or skimming and walls before tiling, involving coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
Rural homes near Kingham have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Responsibilities for owners
If you manage or own a block in Kingham, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
If your business premises in Kingham were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Kingham questions
Do you work near Kingham station?
Yes. Kingham station is about 0.7 miles south of Kingham, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Kingham homes?
If your home in Kingham 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.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
