Artex removal for Nutcombe properties
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. From ceilings before plastering and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, we deal with coated plasterboard, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Nutcombe have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Nutcombe: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Nutcombe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you cover Nutcombe from London?
We cover Nutcombe, about 39 miles from central London.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
