Artex removal near Woodmancote
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Whether it’s coatings scraped during DIY and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we deal with Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Woodmancote have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, while the property is empty.
Looking after things afterwards
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep pets away
- File the test result and waste note
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
