Artex removal for Steeple Claydon properties
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about landlord refurbishments and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, including coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In places like Steeple Claydon, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Steeple Claydon: your questions answered
Do older homes in Steeple Claydon have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Steeple Claydon may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Steeple Claydon home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Steeple Claydon asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings don’t contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
How much does Artex removal cost in Steeple Claydon?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then get advice.
