Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Artex removal in Stanton Harcourt
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, textured walls and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are coatings already disturbed and walls before tiling.
In a village like Stanton Harcourt, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

FAQs for Stanton Harcourt
Do you cover small places like Stanton Harcourt?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is asbestos common in Stanton Harcourt homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
How we work
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.
