Artex removal in Bray
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. People often contact us about walls before tiling and loft conversions, involving textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Bray have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- Access to the area
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
- The quantity or area
Doing several things in one visit can help, such as testing several materials at once.

Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Cracks or breaks
- An overall view
- Street parking nearby
- Labels, if any
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we’ll advise.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
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.
Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Afterwards
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, and you get the paperwork.
A few practical points:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Each different coating needs testing
- Give us room sizes
Avoid these
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Bray questions
Do you cover small places like Bray?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Could my house in Bray contain asbestos?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. A sample test is the only reliable answer. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, as well as homeowners. Tell us about the property and what you need.
How do I get a quote?
Fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
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.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: shut the door if you can and don’t sweep it up. Then get in touch and we’ll advise.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
Why us?
- Waste paperwork for every removal
