About our artex removal in Nettlestone
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Nettlestone, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From coatings damaged by leaks and coatings damaged by DIY, we deal with swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In towns and villages like Nettlestone, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We identify materials before planning removal, as the right approach depends on the material.

What we deal with in Nettlestone
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
For a school such as Nettlestone Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- What category of work it is
- Which laboratory analyses samples
Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
After we have finished:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Nettlestone must 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.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Travel and parking
- Disposal costs
- What the material is and its state
- How much there is
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.

Questions from Nettlestone
Is the Artex in my Nettlestone home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Nettlestone and the area around Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, we cover Nettlestone and the area towards Smallbrook Junction station, about 1.8 miles west.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
What if my house is newer?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
