Artex removal near Sleaford
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. People often contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and landlord refurbishments, including coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Sleaford have often been altered over generations, 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.

Your questions about Artex removal in Sleaford
Is asbestos common in Sleaford homes?
If your home in Sleaford was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Sleaford and the area around Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes. Bentley (Hampshire) station is about 3.2 miles north of Sleaford, and we cover both.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Duty holders and landlords in Sleaford
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Materials, one by one
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Choosing the right option
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Sleaford
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
Asbestos can be in a lot of places in buildings from before 2000. Common situations include:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings already disturbed
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
A school like Mill Chase Academy should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
