About our artex removal in Punnett's Town

Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Punnett's Town, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and rented homes refurbished between tenants, including stipple finishes, textured walls and Artex ceilings.

Rural homes near Punnett's Town have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Typical Artex jobs in Punnett's Town

Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.

Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:

Coatings scraped during DIY
Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
Structural work through coated ceilings
Ceilings before plastering

Non-domestic buildings like Punnetts Town Community Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.

What to check before booking

DIY and asbestos

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

What it costs

What drives the price:

Disposal costs
The survey scope
What the material is and its state
The quantity or area

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Common questions in Punnett's Town

Do you cover Punnett's Town and the area around Stonegate station?

Yes. Stonegate station is about 4.7 miles north-east of Punnett's Town, and we cover both.

Could my house in Punnett's Town contain asbestos?

If your home in Punnett's Town was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.

Do I need to move out during Artex removal?

Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.

How quickly can you come out?

That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.

Could my home contain asbestos?

Looking won’t tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.

How can I get a price?

Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.

Does all Artex contain asbestos?

Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.

Landlords, managing agents and employers

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.

If you run a business from older premises in Punnett's Town, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.

Materials, one by one

Coated plasterboard

The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.

Textured walls

They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.

Options to consider in Punnett's Town

DIY removal products are sold for textured coatings, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
