How artex removal works in Oxley's Green
Planning a renovation in Oxley's Green with textured ceilings? Get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Common materials are coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are coatings scraped during DIY and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Village homes like those in Oxley's Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Oxley's Green questions
Do you come out to small villages like Oxley's Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do older homes in Oxley's Green have asbestos?
Any home in Oxley's Green built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How much does Artex removal cost in Oxley's Green?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.

We do: our area includes Oxley's Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
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.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
