Artex removal in Lane End
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Lane End, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s ceilings before plastering and landlord refurbishments, we deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In a village like Lane End, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Lane End questions
Is the Artex in my Lane End home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Lane End?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
What we do and do not cover
The usual limits are:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.
