Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If your business premises in Lyneham were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Artex removal for Lyneham properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. We often deal with coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and typical jobs are structural work through coated ceilings and landlord refurbishments.
In towns and villages like Lyneham, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We explain what we find in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Why people call us in Lyneham
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
In older properties, we often see:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Coatings already disturbed
- Structural work through coated ceilings
For rented flats close to Shipton station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

DIY and asbestos
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Weighing up your options
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Work done to the regulations
- Across London and the South East

Helpful guides
Lyneham: your questions answered
Do older homes in Lyneham have asbestos?
If your home in Lyneham was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Lyneham and the area around Shipton station?
Yes. Shipton station is about 1.1 miles south of Lyneham, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is usually needed.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Typically you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
What we do and do not cover
What’s in and what’s out:
- We need the room cleared
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
