Artex removal in Long Wittenham
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Long Wittenham. People often contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Long Wittenham have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you’re responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Long Wittenham, 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.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.

Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is generally best. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.

Long Wittenham: your questions answered
Do you cover Long Wittenham and the area around Appleford station?
Yes, we cover Long Wittenham and the area towards Appleford station, about 1.3 miles west.
Could my house in Long Wittenham contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Long Wittenham can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do you cover Long Wittenham?
Yes, Long Wittenham is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
What’s included, and what is not
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Materials in Long Wittenham
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
