About our artex removal in Denstroude
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From landlord refurbishments and walls before tiling, we cover textured walls, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses and more.
In places like Denstroude, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job comes with paperwork, which is useful when you sell, let or build.

Your questions about Artex removal in Denstroude
Do textured ceilings in Denstroude homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Denstroude from London?
We cover Denstroude, about 50 miles from central London.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
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 OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Of course. With the seller’s agreement, a pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you commit.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.

Good to know
To be clear about the scope:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately

After the job
File the result and the paperwork.
Some practical advice:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Keep pets away
- Give us room sizes
- Test every different coating
Things not to do
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Test before the builders arrive.
Can I do it myself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.
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.

Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
