Asbestos help in Uffington
Artex removal in Uffington
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. We often deal with stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and people typically contact us about ceilings before plastering and loft conversions and extensions.
In a village like Uffington, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, so you have a record.

Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
You can’t tell by looking, but these are common reasons people contact us:
- Walls before tiling
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Coatings already disturbed
- Loft conversions
Non-domestic buildings like Uffington Church of England Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off

If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal.

Uffington: your questions answered
Is asbestos common in Uffington homes?
Any home in Uffington built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Uffington?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
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.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
