Artex removal in Over Wallop
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and coatings in the way of electrical work.
Village homes like those in Over Wallop 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.

Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in plenty of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
A school like Wallop Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
Before you book anyone
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
- Where the waste goes, with paperwork
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
Afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Test every different coating
- Clear the rooms before the work
Avoid these
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Your options compared

What you get
- Records for your files
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance

Do you cover small places like Over Wallop?

Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
