About our artex removal in Chute Forest
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. Common materials are textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are ceilings before downlights go in and rented flats before redecoration.
Rural homes near Chute Forest have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Your questions about Artex removal in Chute Forest
How far is Chute Forest from London?
Chute Forest is about 65 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Chute Forest home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What paperwork will I get?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
How much does Artex removal cost in Chute Forest?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What affects the price in Chute Forest
When we quote, we look at:
- Travel and parking
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- Where we could park
- Visible markings
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks

Materials, one by one
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
Patched areas
We may sample patches separately.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Patched or painted coatings
- Artex ceilings
- Textured walls
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
DIY and asbestos

Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
For businesses and landlords in Chute Forest
