If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

Artex removal in Netherfield
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and people normally contact us about textured walls before a refit and coatings damaged by DIY.
Rural homes near Netherfield have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Materials we deal with

Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
For businesses and landlords in Netherfield
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
If you run a business from older premises in Netherfield, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.

Common questions in Netherfield
Is the Artex in my Netherfield home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Netherfield from London?
Netherfield is about 45 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is my textured ceiling in Netherfield asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
