Where we remove Artex in RG25
In RG25, renovation is when textured ceilings get noticed, in Overton, Viables and Hatch Warren and smaller places alike.
Overton: Older homes across Overton may have coatings added during past renovations. If you’re refurbishing flats near Overton station, a void period is a good time to deal with textured ceilings.
What we do and do not cover
Before booking, note that:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
Looking after things afterwards
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Send photos of the coatings
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
DIY and asbestos
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Typical Artex jobs in RG25
Most problems come during renovation: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
What affects the price in RG25
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
- How much waste there is
- Access to the area
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.

Common questions in RG25
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. We take it to a permitted site with paperwork.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise room by room.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
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.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
