Artex removal near Redford
Artex removal in Redford
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Redford. From coatings scraped during DIY and loft conversions, we deal with stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard and more.
Village homes like those in Redford have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- We need the room cleared
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Redford: your questions answered
Do you work on properties in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. The asbestos rules are the same in protected landscapes, though access to rural buildings may need planning.
Is the Artex in my Redford home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
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.
