Artex removal in Worting
How artex removal works in Worting
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos remains and needs recording. Common materials are coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes, and people typically contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and rented flats before redecoration.
In places like Worting, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Worting questions
Is the Artex in my Worting home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Worting from London?
We cover Worting, about 48 miles from central London.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is typically needed.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

Don’ts
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Materials, one by one

Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Duty holders and landlords in Worting
Landlords of single homes don’t have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
