About our artex removal in Ashton Green

Village homes like those in Ashton Green have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What else we do in Ashton Green
DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Limits to be aware of
So you know what to expect:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Other materials may need their own approach
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
Afterwards
Share the paperwork with your trades.
After we’ve finished:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan around the closed rooms
Don’ts
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Don’t drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Your options compared
Testing first can save a lot: if the coating is clear, ordinary methods can be used. The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Domestic and commercial work
- Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
- Accredited laboratory results
