Artex removal near Carter's Clay

What it costs

We base our quote on:

  • The quantity or area
  • How much waste there is
  • Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
  • Access: height, lofts, steps and space

Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.

Photos that help

Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them without disturbing anything:

  • Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
  • An overall view
  • Visible markings
  • An idea of size

Artex removal for Carter's Clay properties

We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Carter's Clay. Typical jobs include ceilings before downlights go in and damaged or cracked coatings, including textured walls, coated ceiling roses and Artex ceilings.

Village homes like those in Carter's Clay have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Duty holders and landlords in Carter's Clay

Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.

Materials, one by one

Ceiling roses and cornices

They’re included in the test if they’re coated.

Coated plasterboard

Board removal avoids stripping.

Choosing the right option

Skimming over Artex avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.

Why us?

  • Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
  • Quotes that spell out the scope
  • Honest advice, even when the answer is to leave it
  • Domestic and commercial work

See how we price jobs and published price ranges.

Limits to be aware of

We’re upfront about what’s included:

  • We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
  • Other materials may need their own approach
  • Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs

Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Carter's Clay

Do you work near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station?

Yes, we cover Carter's Clay and the area towards Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 1.2 miles north-east.

Is the Artex in my Carter's Clay home asbestos?

Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.

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.

Do you work on commercial premises?

Yes: shops, offices, industrial units and community buildings as well as homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.

What does it cost to remove Artex?

It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.

Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?

First, keep everyone away and do not clean it up. Then contact us for advice.

I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?

Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice.

Does someone need to be there?

Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.

Helpful guides

DIY and asbestos

Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.

HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.

  • Nothing removed blind: unknown materials are tested first
  • Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
  • Everything in writing: quotes, reports, results and waste notes
  • Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
