About our artex removal in Turnfurlong
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Turnfurlong, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Whether it’s coatings in the way of electrical work and extensions that cut into ceilings, we deal with stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Homes in areas like Turnfurlong may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Turnfurlong questions
Is the Artex in my Turnfurlong home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Turnfurlong homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Turnfurlong may have it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
How can I get a price?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
The scope of Artex removal
We are upfront about what’s included:
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- We need the room cleared
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.
Materials we see
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Coated plasterboard
For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.
Step by step
We soften the coating and take it off by hand, never sanded or scraped dry. When we’re done, we explain what happens next and what paperwork follows.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any damage before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and access
- Tell neighbours if the work is close to their property

Can I do it myself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Options to consider in Turnfurlong
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

What we deal with in Turnfurlong
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so testing is the only way to know.

- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Coatings scraped during DIY

- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Any exclusions
- How fibres will be kept down
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Photos help us quote
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Test every different coating
