Artex removal in PO33: what to expect
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. Trouble starts when it’s sanded, dry-scraped, drilled or knocked through, which is why testing first matters in PO33. Typical materials include Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated ceiling roses, and people usually contact us about loft conversions and extensions and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights.
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We sample each coating
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork

PO33: textured coatings in homes
In PO33, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in Ryde, Oakfield and Elmfield and smaller places alike. Around 17 places in PO33 are close to the coast, so outdoor roof work there is planned around the wind.
Ryde: If you’re refurbishing flats near Ryde St Johns Road station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies. A school like Dover Park Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, but the coating underneath is the same.
Can I do it myself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
With a professional job, you get a record: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Which option is right?
A test before removal can save money: a clear result means normal methods.
Before booking anyone
- How fibres will be kept down
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples

Limits to be aware of
The usual limits are:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
How we price Artex removal

FAQs for PO33
Is my textured ceiling in PO33 asbestos?
Not necessarily: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. A sample test tells you which you have.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote, and notifiable work needs notifying before it starts.
Do you work on commercial premises?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Generally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
