Artex removal near Wigginton
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include swirl patterns, textured walls and stipple finishes, and people generally contact us about ceilings before plastering and extensions that cut into ceilings.
In a village like Wigginton, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about Artex removal in Wigginton
Could my house in Wigginton contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wigginton may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Wigginton homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
How we price Artex removal
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How much waste there is
- The category of work
- Location, parking and any London charges
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.

Duty holders and landlords in Wigginton
For managing agents and freeholders in Wigginton, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Test every different coating
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Clear the rooms before the work
Things not to do
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
