About our artex removal in Tubney
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. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings before downlights go in and ceilings before skimming.
In places like Tubney, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Tubney questions
Is the Artex in my Tubney home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Tubney from London?
Tubney is about 56 miles from central London, well within our area.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

Good to know
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.

Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Staying safe afterwards:
- Send photos of the coatings
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
Avoid these
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
