Artex removal near Pilley Bailey
Artex removal for Pilley Bailey properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and flaking textured ceilings, including Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Pilley Bailey have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Common questions in Pilley Bailey
Do you cover small places like Pilley Bailey?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Pilley Bailey home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Duty holders and landlords in Pilley Bailey
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
After the job
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
- Clear the rooms before the work
Things not to do
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
What we deal with in Pilley Bailey
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
For a school such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
