Artex removal near Alfold Bars
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s flaking textured ceilings and coatings damaged by DIY, we cover textured walls, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Alfold Bars have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

- Approximate dimensions

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Alfold Bars questions
Do you cover Alfold Bars from London?
Alfold Bars is about 34 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Alfold Bars home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Does weather affect the work?
That depends: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How much does Artex removal cost in Alfold Bars?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing.

A few practical points:

Things not to do

Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Limits to be aware of
What’s in and what’s out:
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
