Artex removal near Wroxton
Artex removal for Wroxton properties
Planning a renovation in Wroxton with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Whether it’s loft conversions and extensions and rented homes refurbished between tenants, we deal with stipple finishes, textured walls and coated ceiling roses and more.
Rural homes near Wroxton have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Wroxton questions
Do you come out to small villages like Wroxton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is asbestos common in Wroxton homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
Make the area safe first: shut the door if you can and do not sweep it up. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, then contact a professional.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Prices and what affects them
What changes the cost:
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The type of material and its condition
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Materials, one by one
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Good to know
What’s in and what’s out:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise.
