Artex removal for Stockbridge properties
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. We often deal with swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and people generally contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings coming down.
In a village like Stockbridge, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

For a school such as Stockbridge Primary & Pre-School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.

Duty holders and landlords in Stockbridge

Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.

Questions from Stockbridge
Is the Artex in my Stockbridge home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Stockbridge?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I just skim over it?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
