Artex removal for Wootton properties
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and coatings damaged by leaks, involving swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and coated plasterboard.
Village homes like those in Wootton have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is added to the job that you don’t need.

Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot 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 advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What it costs
What drives the price:
- The category of work
- Waste quantity and disposal

What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help

Each job is priced individually. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
What you get
- Plain-English advice, including when to leave things alone

What else we do in Wootton
Common questions in Wootton
Do older homes in Wootton have asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Wootton may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Wootton homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is my textured ceiling in Wootton asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
How much does Artex removal cost in Wootton?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.
