Artex removal for Rotherwick
Artex removal near Rotherwick
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by leaks and loft conversions and extensions, including stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Rural homes near Rotherwick have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your options compared
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- We identify first and remove only what needs removing
- Written quotes that say what’s included
See how we quote and our cost guide.
After the job
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Going forward:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Test every different coating
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Don’ts
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Questions from Rotherwick
Do you cover Rotherwick and the area around Hook station?
Yes. Hook station is about 1.8 miles south of Rotherwick, and we cover both.
Do you cover Rotherwick from London?
We cover Rotherwick, about 40 miles from central London.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
