Artex removal in Colden Common
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From coatings in the way of electrical work and coatings already disturbed, we deal with textured walls, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes and more.
Homes in towns and villages like Colden Common may have textured ceilings in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

For businesses and landlords in Colden Common
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
What we deal with in Colden Common
Asbestos-free coatings were also made, so testing is the only way to know.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Coatings damaged by leaks
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
Non-domestic buildings like Colden Common Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.

Colden Common questions
Do you cover Colden Common from London?
We cover Colden Common, about 63 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Colden Common home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
It’s an option for an intact coating: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Don’t sand it first, and keep a record that it’s there.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is my textured ceiling in Colden Common asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. A sample test tells you which you have.
How much does Artex removal cost in Colden Common?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Which option is right?
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Coatings are applied over plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.

What we do and do not cover
It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We need the room cleared
If you are unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.

Doing it yourself?
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
The process
At the end, the room is cleaned and checked before the seals come down. We arrive at the agreed time, check the area and explain what we’ll do before we start.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We sample the coating first
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
Getting ready
- Move belongings away from the area, without touching the material
- Ensure pets and children are elsewhere
- Warn neighbours if needed
