How artex removal works in St Nicholas at Wade
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and coatings in the way of electrical work, involving swirl patterns, stipple finishes and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in St Nicholas at Wade have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

For landlords, agents and businesses

Your questions about Artex removal in St Nicholas at Wade
Do you come out to small villages like St Nicholas at Wade?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do textured ceilings in St Nicholas at Wade homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included, including whether VAT is included.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Usually you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
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.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: skimming or boarding over avoids disturbing it. Do not sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
