Artex removal near Mill Corner
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. We often deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and people generally contact us about textured walls before a refit and extensions that cut into ceilings.
In a village like Mill Corner, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
What we deal with in Mill Corner
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings coming down
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Walls before tiling
If you are refurbishing flats near Doleham station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Looking after things afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Common questions in Mill Corner
Do textured ceilings in Mill Corner homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do older homes in Mill Corner have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
