Artex removal in Mid Holmwood
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Common materials are coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are flaking textured ceilings and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In a village like Mid Holmwood, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

What it costs
Quotes vary because of:
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The type of material and its condition
A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- An overall view

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings coming down
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Flaking textured ceilings
A school like St John's Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
What your quote should include
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you’ll get a consignment note
- The method and controls
- What category of work it is
- What paperwork you get
The process
We bag and label the waste as we work, then taken to a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Send photos of the textured surfaces
- We test a sample of each coating
- We explain your options: leave, cover or remove
- We remove it safely if that’s what you choose
- We dispose of the waste legally

Common questions in Mid Holmwood
Do you cover Mid Holmwood from London?
Mid Holmwood is about 23 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do textured ceilings in Mid Holmwood homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
