How artex removal works in Monk Sherborne
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. We often deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and ceilings before plastering.
Village homes like those in Monk Sherborne have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
A closer look at the materials
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Monk Sherborne include:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before plastering
- Textured walls before a refit
- Loft conversions and extensions
If your home is one of the older properties in Monk Sherborne, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Questions from Monk Sherborne
Do you cover Monk Sherborne from London?
Monk Sherborne is about 46 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Monk Sherborne home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
What affects the price in Monk Sherborne
What drives the price:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
