Should you do it yourself?

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.

Duty holders and landlords in Northway
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
The scope of Artex removal
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it does not:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Common materials
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
Materials, one by one
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.

Typical Artex jobs in Northway
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Flaking textured ceilings
If your home is one of the older properties in Northway, near St Anthony of Padua or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

After we’ve finished in Northway
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Keep pets away
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- File the test result and waste note
- Empty the rooms in advance
Avoid these
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

FAQs for Northway
Do you work near Oxford station?
Yes. Oxford station is about 2.4 miles south-west of Northway, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Northway homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How much does Artex removal cost in Northway?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
