Artex removal in Nalderswood
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about ceilings coming down and walls before tiling, involving Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Nalderswood have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Common questions in Nalderswood
Do you cover small places like Nalderswood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Nalderswood home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Materials we deal with
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
