Artex removal near Tidworth
Artex removal for Tidworth properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about structural work through coated ceilings and coatings scraped during DIY.
In places like Tidworth, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Your questions about Artex removal in Tidworth
Could my house in Tidworth contain asbestos?
Older homes can, if they date from before 2000. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do textured ceilings in Tidworth homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. Laboratory analysis of a sample gives the answer, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
What happens next
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Photos help us quote
- Keep pets away
- Empty the rooms in advance
Don’ts
Do not try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Tidworth, you have a duty to manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Materials we deal with
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Coated plasterboard
