Artex removal in Norleywood
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are swirl patterns, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and flaking textured ceilings.
In areas like Norleywood, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep the results and paperwork
Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
What else we do in Norleywood
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
How we work
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. We go over the plan with you first, so you know what’s happening.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Dig out previous surveys
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Let us know if something’s broken

Questions from Norleywood
Do you cover small places like Norleywood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Norleywood homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Norleywood may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
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.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
