Artex removal for Yaverland
Artex removal for Yaverland properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Yaverland, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. From coatings already disturbed and structural work through coated ceilings, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes and more.
In places like Yaverland, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Common questions in Yaverland
Do you work near Brading station?
Yes, we cover Yaverland and the area towards Brading station, about 1 mile north.
Do you come out to small villages like Yaverland?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Is asbestos dangerous?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
Do you give written quotes?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
If you run a business from older premises in Yaverland, you should have an asbestos register and management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
What happens next
File the result and the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Send photos of the coatings
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
What we deal with in Yaverland
Many ceilings have years of paint on them, which can make them look newer than they are.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Coatings already disturbed
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
Non-domestic buildings like The Bay Church of England School should already have records of any textured coatings, before decorators start.
Questions to ask before booking
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- If the price includes VAT
- Suitable insurance for the work
