Artex removal in Anmore
How artex removal works in Anmore
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, including stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Anmore have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We identify materials before planning removal, because the method depends on what the material is.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Materials we deal with
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
How it works
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Move things out of the way carefully
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Make sure pets and children are elsewhere

Helpful guides
Anmore questions
Do you cover Anmore from London?
We cover Anmore, about 58 miles from central London.
Do you work near Bedhampton station?
Yes, we cover Anmore and the area towards Bedhampton station, about 4 miles south-east.
Can I put asbestos in a skip?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Is my textured ceiling in Anmore asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
Could my home contain asbestos?
You can’t tell by eye. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
How much does Artex removal cost in Anmore?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.

We’re upfront about what’s included:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
