Artex removal in Coleman's Hatch
About our artex removal in Coleman's Hatch
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with swirl patterns, textured walls and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings before skimming and coatings damaged by DIY.
Village homes like those in Coleman's Hatch have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

It’s worth knowing what Artex removal does and doesn’t cover:
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off

- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before booking.
Common materials

- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings

For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Give us room sizes
Things not to do
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
