About our artex removal in Wellow
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Wellow, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Common materials are swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and people generally contact us about rented flats before redecoration and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
In places like Wellow, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. We explain what we find in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Common questions in Wellow
Do you come out to small villages like Wellow?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Wellow contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Wellow can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Tell us about the property and what you need.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.

Does all Artex contain asbestos?
