Artex removal in Staplers
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From coatings already disturbed and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard and more.
In a smaller place like Staplers, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
After we have finished in Staplers
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Once we are done:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Give us room sizes
- File the test result and waste note
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Why people call us in Staplers
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Landlord refurbishments
- Ceilings before skimming
- Loft conversions
- Structural work through coated ceilings
In older homes in Staplers, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.

Staplers: your questions answered
Could my house in Staplers contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Staplers 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, always, including whether VAT is included.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking won’t tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What else we do in Staplers
Materials we deal with
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
