Artex removal near Cooper's Corner
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. People often contact us about loft conversions and extensions and landlord refurbishments, including stipple finishes, coated ceiling roses and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Cooper's Corner have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we will say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Which option is right?
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding, which releases fibres. Ask about the method and the waste. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
Why choose us
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond
- Houses, flats and business premises
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations

Where asbestos turns up
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling is not automatically asbestos.
People usually contact us about one of these:
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Rented flats before redecoration
Older homes across Cooper's Corner may have coatings added during past renovations.

Common questions in Cooper's Corner
Do you cover small places like Cooper's Corner?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Cooper's Corner contain asbestos?
If your home in Cooper's Corner was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Is my textured ceiling in Cooper's Corner asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. The only way to know is to test a sample.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You’ll get available dates with the quote.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.

- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything
