Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- File the test result and waste note
- Clear the rooms before the work
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Artex removal for Worth Abbey properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From walls before tiling and rented flats before redecoration, we cover Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Worth Abbey have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Your questions about Artex removal in Worth Abbey
Is the Artex in my Worth Abbey home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Worth Abbey homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Worth Abbey may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work in Worth Abbey?
Yes, Worth Abbey is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and can’t go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
