Asbestos help in The Chart
Artex removal in The Chart
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in The Chart. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and landlord refurbishments, we cover coated plasterboard, textured walls and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near The Chart have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Weighing up your options
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

The Chart questions
Do you cover small places like The Chart?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in The Chart contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in The Chart may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.

Duty holders and landlords in The Chart
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
After the job
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
To avoid problems in future:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Each different coating needs testing
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Book your plasterer after removal
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Test before the builders arrive.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Board removal avoids stripping.
Textured walls
Some walls were also given textured finishes.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
