Artex removal in Crampmoor
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Common materials are Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes, and typical jobs are extensions that cut into ceilings and textured walls before a refit.
In towns and villages like Crampmoor, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Crampmoor: your questions answered
Could my house in Crampmoor contain asbestos?
If your home in Crampmoor was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you cover small places like Crampmoor?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
How much does Artex removal cost in Crampmoor?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then get advice.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Generally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Can I stay at home while you work?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings generally aren’t licensed.
Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Material and condition
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. We quote each job individually.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- The parking area
- A rough size or measurement
- Labels, if any
- A wide shot showing where the material is
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Places near Crampmoor
Typical Artex jobs in Crampmoor
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
These come up again and again:
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings before skimming
If your home is one of the older properties in Crampmoor, near St Swithun's Church or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include
- Suitable insurance for the work
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note
- The method and controls
Can I do it myself?
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.
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: leave the area, don’t clean it up, and ask for advice.
The scope of Artex removal
Here’s what Artex removal covers, and what it doesn’t:
- Plastering and making good are typically separate jobs
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials in Crampmoor
