In a village like Shipton Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

FAQs for Shipton Green
Is the Artex in my Shipton Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you work near Bosham station?
Yes. Bosham station is about 3.6 miles north of Shipton Green, and we cover both.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and don’t sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
- Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
