About our artex removal in Moss End
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From loft conversions and extensions and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we cover coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In a village like Moss End, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Why people call us in Moss End
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before plastering
For a school such as Garth Hill College, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Your questions about Artex removal in Moss End
Do you cover small places like Moss End?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Moss End homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Moss End can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you work in Moss End?
Yes, we do: our area includes Moss End and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Should all asbestos be removed?
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.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
The process
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
How to prepare
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Have any previous surveys or test results ready
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
