Artex removal for Clay Hill properties

Which option is right?
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it smooth first, and it remains in place. We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
What you get
- Waste paperwork for every removal
- Clear advice on your options
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- No removal until we know what it is
Read how we quote and our cost guide.
Can I do it myself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
What it might be made of
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
Questions from Clay Hill
Do you work in Clay Hill despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Is asbestos common in Clay Hill homes?
Homes built or refitted before 2000 can. The only way to know is to test suspect materials. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Avoid sweeping, vacuuming or dusting, and ask for advice; your GP can advise if you are worried about your health.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will advise for each room.
Step by step
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, and keep the coating damp as we work. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
