Artex removal for Leckford
Your questions about Artex removal in Leckford
Do you cover small places like Leckford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How far is Leckford from London?
Leckford is about 64 miles from central London, well within our area.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How artex removal works in Leckford
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Leckford. People often contact us about ceilings coming down and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, involving Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Leckford have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

For landlords, agents and businesses
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 repairs are arranged.
Doing it yourself?
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.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
