Artex removal for Touchen-end
Artex removal in Touchen-end
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Common materials are textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and people normally contact us about coatings scraped during DIY and ceilings before plastering.
In places like Touchen-end, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Touchen-end
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before skimming
- Flaking textured ceilings
A school like Holyport College should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.

Your questions about Artex removal in Touchen-end
Do you come out to small villages like Touchen-end?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Touchen-end from London?
We cover Touchen-end, about 27 miles from central London.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
The process
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. Parking close by makes the day easier, so let us know about any restrictions.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
- Mention any damage before we arrive

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
What affects the price in Touchen-end
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
