About our artex removal in Northmoor
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Northmoor. From textured walls before a refit and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Northmoor have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For businesses and landlords in Northmoor
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Northmoor questions
Is the Artex in my Northmoor home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do older homes in Northmoor have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Northmoor can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.

Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep pets away
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- File the test result and waste note
- Each different coating needs testing
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

- Waste quantity and disposal

- Labels, if any
Each job is priced individually. To start, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Typical Artex jobs in Northmoor
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings already disturbed
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
If your home is one of the older properties in Northmoor, near Church of St Denys or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
