Artex removal near Shalden
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Whether it’s ceilings before skimming and damaged or cracked coatings, we cover stipple finishes, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Rural homes near Shalden have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

After we’ve finished in Shalden
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Some practical advice:
- Test every different coating
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Give us room sizes
What to avoid
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
Roses and cornices may be coated.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Structural work through coated ceilings
Non-domestic buildings like HSDC Alton should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get
- Whether VAT is included
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
