Artex removal for Weston-on-the-Green properties
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through. Typical jobs include walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings in the way of electrical work, including coated ceiling roses, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Weston-on-the-Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

FAQs for Weston-on-the-Green
Do you come out to small villages like Weston-on-the-Green?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Weston-on-the-Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
