About our artex removal in Ramsdell
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about ceilings coming down and coatings damaged by DIY, including stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Ramsdell have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you are unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
What happens next
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Send photos of the coatings
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
Your options compared
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.

Responsibilities for owners
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Ramsdell must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

If your home is one of the older properties in Ramsdell, near Christ Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation. For a school such as The Priory Primary School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Ramsdell: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Ramsdell?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Ramsdell home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually aren’t licensed.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
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.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Step by step
We wear disposable coveralls and suitable respirators, and the room stays closed. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.

Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
What’s included, and what isn’t
To be clear about the scope:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
