Artex removal in Padbury
Artex removal for Padbury properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From coatings already disturbed and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with textured walls, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings.
In a village like Padbury, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

FAQs for Padbury
Is the Artex in my Padbury home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Padbury?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Responsibilities for owners
If you run a business from older premises in Padbury, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
