Artex removal in Little Posbrook
Artex removal in Little Posbrook
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Little Posbrook. Typical jobs include rented flats before redecoration and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, including swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and textured walls.
Rural homes near Little Posbrook have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Questions from Little Posbrook
Is asbestos common in Little Posbrook homes?
Any home in Little Posbrook built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Little Posbrook from London?
Little Posbrook is about 68 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with 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.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.

What we deal with in Little Posbrook
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
In older properties, we often see:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
If your home is one of the older properties in Little Posbrook, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
