About our artex removal in Netherton
Planning a renovation in Netherton with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Typical materials include swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and people generally contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and loft conversions.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Questions from Netherton
Could my house in Netherton contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Netherton may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Netherton from London?
We cover Netherton, about 57 miles from central London.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How much does Artex removal cost in Netherton?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Is my textured ceiling in Netherton asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Afterwards
File the result and the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Give us room sizes
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Test before the builders arrive.
Duty holders and landlords in Netherton
For managing agents and freeholders in Netherton, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Netherton, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Netherton
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Loft conversions
For a school such as John Blandy Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Options to consider in Netherton
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: the scope, the method, the waste and the paperwork.
