Artex removal for Nether Worton properties
Planning a renovation in Nether Worton with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. From coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, we cover coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Nether Worton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What else we do in Nether Worton
Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Materials, one by one
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Doing it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Good to know
Worth knowing before you book:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Nether Worton
Do you cover Nether Worton and the area around Heyford station?
Yes, we cover Nether Worton and the area towards Heyford station, about 4.5 miles south-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Nether Worton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved, and to be available for questions.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
