Artex removal for Sherington
For landlords, agents and businesses
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
How artex removal works in Sherington
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and loft conversions and extensions, including stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
In areas like Sherington, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Some practical advice:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Clear the rooms before the work

Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Your questions about Artex removal in Sherington
How far is Sherington from London?
We cover Sherington, about 50 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Sherington home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Only a test will tell you.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.

Choosing the right option
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
