How artex removal works in Whitton
If your renovation in Whitton involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Common materials are textured walls, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and coatings already disturbed.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Whitton, sometimes hidden under later layers of paint. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Questions from Whitton
Could my house in Whitton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Whitton may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Whitton home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so a home built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What it costs
We base our quote on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Parking and access charges
- How easy it is to reach
- What the material is and its state
Access makes a big difference to cost, so tell us about access.
Photos that help
A few photos can save a site visit:
- A rough size or measurement
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Send us the address in Whitton, a description and some photos: use our quote form or call 07833 053 749.
What’s included, and what isn’t
The usual limits are:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Doing it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
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.
Step by step
We start by sealing and protecting the room, then keep the coating wet throughout. Parking close by makes the day easier.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- We sample each different coating for testing
- If asbestos is found, we explain the options and quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
Before we arrive
- Let neighbours know if the work is near them
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged

Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is normally best. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when everything has to stop.

What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
Keeping things safe:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- File the test result and waste note
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Where asbestos turns up
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Flaking textured ceilings
If your home is one of the older properties in Whitton, near All Saints Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
