Artex removal in Sibford Gower
Artex removal for Sibford Gower properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From flaking textured ceilings and ceilings before downlights go in, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes and more.
Village homes like those in Sibford Gower have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
Common questions in Sibford Gower
How far is Sibford Gower from London?
We cover Sibford Gower, about 70 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small villages like Sibford Gower?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we’ll advise on the next step.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Do you cover Sibford Gower?
Yes, we do: Sibford Gower is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Send the postcode and a few photos and we’ll quote.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Choosing the right option
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
What you get
- Work done to the regulations

What else we do in Sibford Gower
Where asbestos turns up
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Landlord refurbishments
If your home is one of the older properties in Sibford Gower, near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.

How we work
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- The room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Leave the suspect material alone until we arrive
- Clear the way to the work area
- Find any old asbestos reports
Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Coated plasterboard
Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
