Artex removal near North Leigh
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in North Leigh. Whether it’s ceilings before downlights go in and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we cover textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings and more.
Rural homes near North Leigh have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about Artex removal in North Leigh
Do older homes in North Leigh have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in North Leigh may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work near Combe station?
Yes. Combe station is about 2.4 miles north-east of North Leigh, and we cover both.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in North Leigh
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before plastering
Non-domestic buildings like North Leigh Church of England (Controlled) School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

Can I do it myself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
For businesses and landlords in North Leigh
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
