Artex removal in Weston Underwood
Artex removal near Weston Underwood
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include ceilings before plastering and loft conversions, involving stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
Village homes like those in Weston Underwood have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Common questions in Weston Underwood
Do textured ceilings in Weston Underwood homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Weston Underwood?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
How much does Artex removal cost in Weston Underwood?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
How can I get a price?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
What we do and do not cover
So you know what to expect:
- We need the room cleared
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal.

- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Coated plasterboard

What affects the price in Weston Underwood
What changes the cost:
- What the material is and its state
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Photos that help
What to photograph:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is

We quote each job individually, because no two are the same. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form to get started.
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.

Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
After the job
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
A few practical points:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Photos help us quote
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets away
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
