Artex removal in Weedon
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Typical jobs include ceilings before plastering and landlord refurbishments, involving Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and textured walls.
In a village like Weedon, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Your questions about Artex removal in Weedon
Do you cover small places like Weedon?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How far is Weedon from London?
We cover Weedon, about 40 miles from central London.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. A test will tell you.
Do you work in flats?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
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.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Why people choose us
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Domestic and commercial work
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone
- Quotes that spell out the scope
Read our prices page or published price ranges.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
What affects the price in Weedon
Prices vary with:

- How much waste there is
- Material and condition
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Weedon
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Get advice if you are dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
Older homes across Weedon may have coatings added during past renovations.
