Textured ceilings in Wroxall
Wroxall is about 7 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Properties in Wroxall range from older houses to newer estates and commercial buildings, and anything from before 2000 may contain asbestos. Wroxall is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight we cover. We work right across the region, from Wroxall to Southampton (about 22 miles away).
A school like Wroxall Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start. If you are refurbishing flats near Shanklin station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings. The coast is within about 2 miles of Wroxall, though indoor coating work goes ahead whatever the weather.

Looking after things afterwards
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
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
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.

FAQs for Wroxall
Do you cover small places like Wroxall?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you work near Shanklin station?
Yes. Shanklin station is about 2.2 miles north-east of Wroxall, and we cover both.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then get advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
What’s included, and what is not
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
