About our artex removal in Maltman's Hill
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Whether it’s walls before tiling and loft conversions and extensions, we cover stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
In areas like Maltman's Hill, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
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.
