Artex removal in Wingham Well
Artex removal for Wingham Well properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical jobs include coatings already disturbed and ceilings before downlights go in, including coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns.
In a village like Wingham Well, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Clear answers come first: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

What it might be made of
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
What we deal with in Wingham Well
Many electricians and plasterers ask for a test result before working on textured ceilings.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Textured walls before a refit
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
A school like Wingham Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

DIY and asbestos
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
