Artex removal near Round Street
How artex removal works in Round Street
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Whether it’s coatings in the way of electrical work and loft conversions and extensions, we cover textured walls, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings and more.
Rural homes near Round Street have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Travel and parking
Sometimes a test shows removal is not needed, because the material is clear.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Round Street questions
Do you cover Round Street and the area around Sole Street station?
Yes. Sole Street station is about 0.6 miles south of Round Street, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Round Street homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What paperwork will I get?
It depends on what we do: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Round Street
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
In older homes in Round Street, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Duty holders and landlords in Round Street
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
