Artex removal for Ore
How artex removal works in Ore
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
Homes in places like Ore may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

A closer look at the materials
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Things not to do
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Test before the builders arrive.

Ore questions
Do textured ceilings in Ore homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Ore contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is my textured ceiling in Ore asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
