How artex removal works in Nash
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. From ceilings before plastering and coatings damaged by leaks, we cover coated plasterboard, textured walls and stipple finishes and more.
In towns and villages like Nash, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Nash questions
Do you come out to small villages like Nash?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in Nash homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
DIY and asbestos
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
