Typical Artex jobs in Maudlin
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Rented flats before redecoration
Non-domestic buildings like The March CofE Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Artex removal in Maudlin
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. From ceilings coming down and ceilings before downlights go in, we cover swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses and more.
Rural homes near Maudlin have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about Artex removal in Maudlin
Do textured ceilings in Maudlin homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
How far is Maudlin from London?
Maudlin is about 53 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Is my textured ceiling in Maudlin asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which does not change what’s underneath.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
