Artex removal for Mislingford properties
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, which is why testing first matters in Mislingford. Whether it’s damaged or cracked coatings and coatings scraped during DIY, we cover Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Mislingford have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

The scope of Artex removal
Some limits to bear in mind:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Common questions in Mislingford
Could my house in Mislingford contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Mislingford may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work near Botley station?
Yes, we cover Mislingford and the area towards Botley station, about 4 miles west.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.

Going forward:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards

Don’ts
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
