How artex removal works in Sprig's Alley
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about flaking textured ceilings and ceilings before downlights go in, including stipple finishes, textured walls and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Sprig's Alley have often been altered over generations, 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?
Asbestos waste can’t 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.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Your options compared
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
What you get
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Jobs planned to HSE guidance
- Covering London and the South East

Common questions in Sprig's Alley
Do older homes in Sprig's Alley have asbestos?
Any home in Sprig's Alley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover Sprig's Alley from London?
Sprig's Alley is about 36 miles from central London, well within our area.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
