About our artex removal in Lullington
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings before skimming and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Rural homes near Lullington have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Step by step
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. The work area is kept clear while we’re working, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.

Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Lullington, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
FAQs for Lullington
Is the Artex in my Lullington home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover small places like Lullington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally aren’t licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-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.
Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These come up again and again:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Loft conversions and extensions
Older homes across Lullington may have coatings added during past renovations.
Before booking anyone
- VAT, clearly stated
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.

Things not to do
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
