Artex removal in Mount Pleasant
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and people generally contact us about ceilings coming down and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Rural homes near Mount Pleasant have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Mount Pleasant must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
What we deal with in Mount Pleasant
Many trades want a test result first.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Structural work through coated ceilings

If you’re refurbishing a rental near Cooksbridge station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.

FAQs for Mount Pleasant
Do you work near Cooksbridge station?
Yes. Cooksbridge station is about 2.5 miles south-west of Mount Pleasant, and we cover both.
Could my house in Mount Pleasant contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Mount Pleasant may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
