Artex removal in Sarsden
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 Sarsden. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by leaks and landlord refurbishments, including textured walls, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Sarsden have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in Sarsden were built before 2000, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Sarsden, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.

After we’ve finished in Sarsden
Note which other rooms have coatings, so future work is planned properly.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Keep pets away
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Weighing up your options
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
What you get
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Across London and the South East
- Accredited laboratory results
- Identify first, remove only when needed

Questions from Sarsden
Is asbestos common in Sarsden homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Sarsden from London?
We cover Sarsden, about 70 miles from central London.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.

Limits to be aware of
Some limits to bear in mind:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
