Artex removal for Monxton
How artex removal works in Monxton
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. People often contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and extensions that cut into ceilings, involving swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In areas like Monxton, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
