Artex removal for Middlegreen
Middlegreen questions
Do you come out to small villages like Middlegreen?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Middlegreen home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is my textured ceiling in Middlegreen asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Artex removal in Middlegreen
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Whether it’s extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings before skimming, we deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Middlegreen have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What we do and don’t cover
The usual limits are:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
Materials we see
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
After we’ve finished in Middlegreen
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Test every different coating
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan around the closed rooms
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Typical Artex jobs in Middlegreen
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
For rented flats close to Langley station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
