Artex removal for Claygate
Artex removal in Claygate
HSE’s code of practice says work on textured coatings will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work. People often contact us about loft conversions and coatings already disturbed, including coated ceiling roses, textured walls and Artex ceilings.
In towns and villages like Claygate, textured ceilings are a common renovation find. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Doing it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: keep people away, don’t sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.

What does it cost to remove Artex?

We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
