Common reasons for Artex jobs in Preston Bissett
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
In older homes in Preston Bissett, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Your questions about Artex removal in Preston Bissett
Is the Artex in my Preston Bissett home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do older homes in Preston Bissett have asbestos?
Any home in Preston Bissett built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Do you cover Preston Bissett?
Yes, Preston Bissett is in our area. Send us the postcode for a quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.

Helpful guides
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
After the job
Share the paperwork with your trades.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
