Artex removal for Thrupp
About our artex removal in Thrupp
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Thrupp, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical materials include textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and people normally contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and landlord refurbishments.
In areas like Thrupp, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Weighing up your options
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Thrupp questions
Do you cover Thrupp and the area around Oxford Parkway station?
Yes. Oxford Parkway station is about 2.7 miles south-east of Thrupp, and we cover both.
Is asbestos common in Thrupp homes?
If your home in Thrupp was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Generally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, as long as the seller agrees.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice.
After we’ve finished in Thrupp
Covered coatings should be recorded.
Keeping things safe:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Photos help us quote
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- File the test result and waste note
What to avoid
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Should you do it yourself?

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
