Artex removal near Well Head
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about loft conversions and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, involving swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Well Head, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Well Head questions
Could my house in Well Head contain asbestos?
Any home in Well Head built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Well Head from London?
We cover Well Head, about 59 miles from central London.
How much does Artex removal cost in Well Head?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
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, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Is my textured ceiling in Well Head asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
