How artex removal works in Witney
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. From ceilings before skimming and flaking textured ceilings, we cover coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Renovations in areas like Witney often uncover textured coatings on walls as well as ceilings. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about Artex removal in Witney
Is asbestos common in Witney homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Witney can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you cover Witney from London?
Witney is about 63 miles from central London, well within our area.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will explain the options.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Can I stay at home while you work?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.

Weighing up your options

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
