Artex removal in Yarnton
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. People often contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and rented flats before redecoration, including stipple finishes, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
Rural homes near Yarnton have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

After we’ve finished in Yarnton
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
After we have finished:
- Photos help us quote
- Test every different coating
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Keep pets out of the work area
Avoid these
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.

- The category of work

Where asbestos turns up
Older coatings are often painted over many times, so age is hard to judge.
People normally contact us about one of these:
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Loft conversions
- Flaking textured ceilings
If your home is one of the older properties in Yarnton, near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Questions to ask before booking
- The method and controls
- What you’ll receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
- Whether the job needs notifying
- Any exclusions
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.

Yarnton questions
How far is Yarnton from London?
We cover Yarnton, about 56 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Yarnton?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, with the seller’s permission.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Which option is right?
Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. Every quote says whether VAT is included.
