About our artex removal in Shedfield
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Shedfield. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people normally contact us about rented flats before redecoration and ceilings before plastering.
Village homes like those in Shedfield have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Shedfield questions
Do you cover Shedfield and the area around Botley station?
Yes, we cover Shedfield and the area towards Botley station, about 2.6 miles west.
Could my house in Shedfield contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Shedfield can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Do you cover Shedfield?
Yes, we do: our area includes Shedfield and the places around it. Send the postcode and a few photos and we will quote.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
What’s included, and what is not
The usual limits are:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- We need the room cleared
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we deal with
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Shedfield
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings already disturbed
- Loft conversions and extensions
For rented flats close to Botley station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- VAT, clearly stated
- The scope of the job, in writing
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Keeping things safe:
- File the test result and waste note
- Photos help us quote
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Test every different coating
Things not to do
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
