Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Artex removal near Piddington
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 textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns, and people typically contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and walls before tiling.
In towns and villages like Piddington, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

Helpful guides
Looking after things afterwards
Note which other rooms have coatings, for future work.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Your options compared
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
