Artex removal in Barns Green
Doing it yourself?
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so never climb onto one.
About our artex removal in Barns Green
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Barns Green, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Common materials are swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings already disturbed.
In a village like Barns Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about Artex removal in Barns Green
Do you cover small places like Barns Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Barns Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
How do I get a quote?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
Do you cover Barns Green?
Yes, we do: our area includes Barns Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we’ll quote.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.

Materials, one by one
Textured walls
They’re tested and removed in the same way as ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Why people choose us
- Across London and the South East
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
