Artex removal near North Street
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across North Street. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are landlord refurbishments and walls before tiling.
Village homes like those in North Street have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
What happens
Waste is bagged and labelled as we go, then taken to a permitted site. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
How to prepare
- Warn neighbours if needed
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

What we deal with in North Street
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
In older homes in North Street, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What to look for in a quote
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
Can I do it myself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
North Street: your questions answered
Could my house in North Street contain asbestos?
If your home in North Street was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover small places like North Street?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is my textured ceiling in North Street asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999.
