Artex removal for Avisford
About our artex removal in Avisford
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include coatings damaged by leaks and textured walls before a refit, including coated plasterboard, textured walls and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Avisford have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Avisford: your questions answered
Do you cover Avisford and the area around Barnham station?
Yes. Barnham station is about 1.7 miles south-west of Avisford, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Avisford?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
How much does Artex removal cost in Avisford?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll advise for each room.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, and ask for advice.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Your options compared
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
