Artex removal in Longworth
Artex removal in Longworth
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, including Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Longworth have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Longworth
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before tiling
A school like Longworth Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

Questions from Longworth
Do you cover small places like Longworth?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Longworth homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Longworth may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You cannot tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.

For businesses and landlords in Longworth
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Your options compared
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- No removal until we know what it is
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
Read how we price jobs or the cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Keeping things safe:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Materials we deal with
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
