Artex removal near Normandy
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings coming down, involving Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
In places like Normandy, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Each different coating needs testing

- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Options to consider in Normandy
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why people choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Clear advice on your options
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
Step by step
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Getting ready
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Dig out previous surveys
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Helpful guides
Why people call us in Normandy
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
- Landlord refurbishments
A school like Wyke Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
Questions to ask before you book
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether VAT is included
- What category of work it is
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
For businesses and landlords in Normandy
If your business premises in Normandy were built before 2000, you’re likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Questions from Normandy
Do you cover Normandy from London?
We cover Normandy, about 30 miles from central London.
Is asbestos common in Normandy homes?
If your home in Normandy was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
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.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Is my textured ceiling in Normandy asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
