Artex removal near Neithrop
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about ceilings before plastering and coatings in the way of electrical work, including swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
In Neithrop, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Doing it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Your questions about Artex removal in Neithrop
Is the Artex in my Neithrop home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Neithrop contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Typically not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.

Afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
After we’ve finished:
- Test every different coating
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Empty the rooms in advance
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Neithrop were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
For managing agents and freeholders in Neithrop, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
Your options compared
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and it remains in place. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
