Artex removal for North Gorley properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Whether it’s ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and ceilings before plastering, we deal with Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near North Gorley have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

DIY and asbestos

Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

What happens next
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.

Questions from North Gorley
Do you come out to small villages like North Gorley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in North Gorley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
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 will advise.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? 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 normally better. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
