How artex removal works in Loosley Row
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical jobs include structural work through coated ceilings and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, including Artex ceilings, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In a village like Loosley Row, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about Artex removal in Loosley Row
Do older homes in Loosley Row have asbestos?
Any home in Loosley Row 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 textured ceilings in Loosley Row homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally 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.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
What we deal with in Loosley Row
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings coming down
Older homes across Loosley Row may have coatings added during past renovations.

Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Can I do it myself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
