Artex removal near Dancers Hill
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry.

Ceilings in Dancers Hill conversions can have more than one coating, so each may need testing. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

DIY and asbestos
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
The process
We start by sealing and protecting the room, and keep the coating damp as we work. Nobody else needs to be in the work area, so please keep children and pets away.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- The coating is removed with controls
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Before we arrive
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let us know where we can park
- Keep away from the material in the meantime

Common questions in Dancers Hill
Do you cover Dancers Hill and the area around Potters Bar station?
Yes. Potters Bar station is about 1.5 miles north-east of Dancers Hill, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Dancers Hill homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
How do I get a quote?
Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll advise for each room.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a report for a survey, a lab result for a test, or waste paperwork for removal.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
