Artex removal in Nash
Artex removal for Nash properties
If your renovation in Nash involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Whether it’s textured walls before a refit and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and swirl patterns and more.
Rural homes near Nash have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Your questions about Artex removal in Nash
Is the Artex in my Nash home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How far is Nash from London?
Nash is about 60 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.

Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

What it might be made of
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
