About our artex removal in Winklebury
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Winklebury. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings before skimming, involving swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
In Winklebury, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
For managing agents and freeholders in Winklebury, the asbestos register for common parts should be kept up to date and shared with contractors.
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
What we deal with in Winklebury
Many trades want a test result first.
These are some of the things we deal with in Winklebury:
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Loft conversions

- Ceilings before skimming
A school like Castle Hill Infant School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Whether VAT is included
- The documents you will receive
- How fibres will be kept down
Afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
Some practical advice:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Give us room sizes
- Test every different coating
- Keep pets out of the work area
Don’ts
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.

Helpful guides
Which option is right?
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

FAQs for Winklebury
Is the Artex in my Winklebury home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is asbestos common in Winklebury homes?
Any home in Winklebury built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
No: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area in the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
