How artex removal works in Chawley
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, across Chawley. Common materials are stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and coated ceiling roses, and typical jobs are rented homes refurbished between tenants and ceilings before plastering.
Rural homes near Chawley have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

What else we do in Chawley
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
How we price Artex removal
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Disposal costs
- How much there is
- The survey scope
- Parking and access charges
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.
What to photograph
For a quick quote, include:
- Where we could park

Limits to be aware of
We’re upfront about what’s included:
- We need the room cleared

- Coated plasterboard

Chawley: your questions answered
Do older homes in Chawley have asbestos?
Any home in Chawley built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Chawley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
How much does Artex removal cost in Chawley?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
How do I get a quote?
Just 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.
