Artex removal for Boreham Street
DIY and asbestos
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.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
About our artex removal in Boreham Street
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We’ll talk you through the options for your rooms in Boreham Street. Common materials are swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses, and people typically contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and extensions that cut into ceilings.
In places like Boreham Street, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Boreham Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Boreham Street from London?
We cover Boreham Street, about 47 miles from central London.
Do older homes in Boreham Street have asbestos?
Any home in Boreham Street built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Just 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.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you’re around to answer questions.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
You can often stay in the rest of the house: the room being worked on is sealed off and kept clear.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.

- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: do not touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
