How artex removal works in Slinfold
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in Slinfold. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by leaks and loft conversions and extensions, including textured walls, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In towns and villages like Slinfold, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

What we deal with in Slinfold
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
In older homes in Slinfold, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

FAQs for Slinfold
Do textured ceilings in Slinfold homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Could my house in Slinfold contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How do I get a quote?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
Will I get the price in writing?
