About our artex removal in Priddy's Hard
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and ceilings before downlights go in, including textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Priddy's Hard have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Priddy's Hard

- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
If your home is one of the older properties in Priddy's Hard, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include

- That licensed work will be done by an HSE-licensed contractor
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
