Artex removal near Binley
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. People often contact us about rented flats before redecoration and coatings scraped during DIY, involving coated plasterboard, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
In a village like Binley, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. Paperwork is part of every job, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

What it might be made of
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- The size of the job
- How easy it is to reach
- Waste quantity and disposal
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

FAQs for Binley
Do you come out to small villages like Binley?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is the Artex in my Binley home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
When can you start?
It depends on the job and our diary. You will get available dates with the quote.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always, including whether VAT is included.

Which option is right?
A low price may mean shortcuts, which releases fibres. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
