Artex removal for Denton properties
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. Typical jobs include ceilings coming down and walls before tiling, including coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard.
In a village like Denton, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, for your records.

What’s included, and what isn’t
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- We need the room cleared
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.
What we deal with
- Patched or painted coatings
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Artex ceilings
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Painted coatings
Paint often hides the coating, which does not change what’s underneath.

Why people call us in Denton
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights releases fibres.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings before skimming
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
In older homes in Denton, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What to look for in a quote
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- Proof of an HSE licence where it’s needed
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- How fibres will be kept down
Responsibilities for owners
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
Choosing the right option
Test, leave, cover or remove? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is generally better. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Why people choose us
- Work done to the regulations
- Domestic and commercial work
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

After we have finished in Denton
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
After the job, keep these in mind:
- Photos help us quote
- File the test result and waste note
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Plan around the closed rooms
Things not to do
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Common questions in Denton
Do you cover Denton and the area around Radley station?
Yes. Radley station is about 4.9 miles south-west of Denton, and we cover both.
Do textured ceilings in Denton homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work is not affected. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote once we know what it contains.
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.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
