Artex removal near South Willesborough
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are coatings damaged by leaks and walls before tiling.
In a smaller place like South Willesborough, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

South Willesborough: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in South Willesborough homes?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover South Willesborough and the area around Ashford International station?
Yes. Ashford International station is about 0.9 miles north-west of South Willesborough, and we cover both.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, and anything from before 2000 is worth checking.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Give us room sizes
What to avoid
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Can I do it myself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
