How artex removal works in North Waltham
If your renovation in North Waltham involves textured ceilings, test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. We often deal with swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and people generally contact us about ceilings before skimming and structural work through coated ceilings.
Village homes like those in North Waltham have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

North Waltham: your questions answered
Do you cover North Waltham and the area around Micheldever station?
Yes, we cover North Waltham and the area towards Micheldever station, about 3.6 miles south-west.
Do you cover North Waltham from London?
North Waltham is about 51 miles from central London, well within our area.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
After the job
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Going forward:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Photos help us quote
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
The scope of Artex removal
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Helpful guides
Why people call us in North Waltham
Many trades want a test result first.
You cannot tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Structural work through coated ceilings
For a school such as North Waltham Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the job needs notifying
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- What isn’t included
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
