Artex removal near Wyck
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Wyck. Typical jobs include textured walls before a refit and ceilings before downlights go in, including textured walls, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses.
In a village like Wyck, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Common questions in Wyck
Do you come out to small villages like Wyck?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Wyck home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings usually are not licensed.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. A pre-purchase survey, arranged with the seller’s permission, shows what asbestos is there before you exchange.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I just skim over it?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Limits to be aware of
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Common reasons for Artex jobs in Wyck
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, so age is hard to judge.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings before plastering
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Loft conversions
In older homes in Wyck, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
Comparing quotes
- VAT, clearly stated

Weighing up your options

Why choose us

- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Reports and results you can share
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
Read how we quote or published price ranges.
Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Photos help us quote
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
The process
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly before the seals come down. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so children and pets should be kept elsewhere.
