How artex removal works in Clement Street
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are swirl patterns, textured walls and Artex ceilings, and people usually contact us about coatings in the way of electrical work and ceilings due for plastering or skimming.
Rural homes near Clement Street have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Paperwork is part of every job, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

Why people call us in Clement Street
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Walls before tiling
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Loft conversions and extensions
A school like Sutton-At-Hone Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.
Questions to ask before booking
- How fibres will be kept down
- Which laboratory analyses samples
- What’s excluded, such as making good or a new roof
- What you will receive afterwards: a report, results or waste paperwork
What we do and don’t cover
To be clear about the scope:
- We need the room cleared
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Materials we see
- Textured walls
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

Options to consider in Clement Street
Plastering over it avoids disturbing it, but don’t sand it smooth first, and the asbestos stays in the building. There is no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.

Doing it yourself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
