About our artex removal in Ossemsley
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Typical jobs include coatings scraped during DIY and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, involving textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Ossemsley have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

Helpful guides
After we have finished in Ossemsley
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Going forward:
- File the test result and waste note
- Each different coating needs testing
- Send photos of the coatings
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Should you do it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
What we do and don’t cover
Worth knowing before you book:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Your questions about Artex removal in Ossemsley
Do older homes in Ossemsley have asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Ossemsley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you manage or own a block in Ossemsley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades.
