Artex removal in Roxeth
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Roxeth. Common materials are swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and people typically contact us about rented homes refurbished between tenants and coatings in the way of electrical work.
Ceilings in Roxeth conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Helpful guides
Roxeth questions
Could my house in Roxeth contain asbestos?
If your home in Roxeth was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Roxeth homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
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 generally aren’t licensed.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
DIY and asbestos
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
A closer look at the materials
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
For businesses and landlords in Roxeth
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Where asbestos turns up
People used Artex to cover cracks and uneven ceilings, and some included a little chrysotile.
These come up again and again:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
Non-domestic buildings like Roxeth Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- How the work will be done, and the controls used
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence

Good to know
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
Common materials
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
Which option is right?
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
