Helpful guides
Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
What you get
- Accredited laboratory results
- Work done to the regulations
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- No removal until we know what it is

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Roxbourne
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
These are some of the things we deal with in Roxbourne:
- Walls before tiling
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings before plastering
Non-domestic buildings like The Moriah Jewish Day School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before booking
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- If the price includes VAT
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
Questions from Roxbourne
Is the Artex in my Roxbourne home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work in Roxbourne despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
For businesses and landlords in Roxbourne
For managing agents and freeholders in Roxbourne, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors, and condition checked regularly.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
