Artex removal for Nash Street
Artex removal for Nash Street properties
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. We often deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and people typically contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In areas like Nash Street, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

Questions from Nash Street
Is asbestos common in Nash Street homes?
If your home in Nash Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Nash Street home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
What does licensed work mean?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally are not licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
What’s included, and what is not
Worth knowing before booking:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials we see

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
What we deal with in Nash Street
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Nash Street include:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings already disturbed
If your home is one of the older properties in Nash Street, near Church of St Mildred or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
