Artex removal in Moulsford
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Moulsford. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings before plastering, including swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Moulsford have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Moulsford: your questions answered
Do you cover Moulsford from London?
We cover Moulsford, about 46 miles from central London.
Do you work on properties in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Is my textured ceiling in Moulsford asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Which option is right?
Testing first can save a lot: a clear result means normal methods. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

- Records for your files
