Artex removal near Twelve Oaks
About our artex removal in Twelve Oaks
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Whether it’s structural work through coated ceilings and loft conversions, we deal with coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings and more.
In places like Twelve Oaks, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Twelve Oaks: your questions answered
Do you cover Twelve Oaks from London?
Twelve Oaks is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover small places like Twelve Oaks?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How quickly can you come out?
It depends on the job and our diary. We will give you dates when we quote.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.

Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is, with photos if possible. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.

DIY and asbestos
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Twelve Oaks
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Flaking textured ceilings
Older homes across Twelve Oaks may have coatings added during past renovations.
Comparing quotes
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
- The documents you’ll receive
- Waste disposal and the consignment note
- The scope of the job, in writing
For landlords, agents and businesses
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
How it works
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. We wear suitable protective equipment for the job, and use controls to keep dust down.
- Let us know which rooms have textured coatings
- We sample each different coating for testing
- We go through the options and send a quote
- We seal off each room and remove the coating wet, or take the boards down whole
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Preparing for the visit
- Clear belongings, but leave the material alone
- Let us know if something’s broken
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
