Artex removal for Tiddington properties
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people typically contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and loft conversions and extensions.
In areas like Tiddington, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Can I do it myself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
After we’ve finished:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

Common questions in Tiddington
Could my house in Tiddington contain asbestos?
Any home in Tiddington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Is the Artex in my Tiddington home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
