Artex removal in Littleworth Corner
How artex removal works in Littleworth Corner
If your renovation in Littleworth Corner involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Typical jobs include walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings damaged by DIY, including stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Littleworth Corner have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For businesses and landlords in Littleworth Corner
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Littleworth Corner, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.

FAQs for Littleworth Corner
Do textured ceilings in Littleworth Corner homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you come out to small villages like Littleworth Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Good to know
The usual limits are:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
In older properties, we often see:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
Non-domestic buildings like Dropmore Infant School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What your quote should include
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- Suitable insurance for the work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
How it works
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked. Before anything starts, we confirm the areas and materials with you, so there is no confusion.
- Get in touch with photos
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We remove it safely if that’s what you choose
- The waste goes to a permitted site with a consignment note
Preparing for the visit
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
