Artex removal in Denvilles
Artex removal in Denvilles
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical materials include stipple finishes, swirl patterns and Artex ceilings, and typical jobs are ceilings due for plastering or skimming and loft conversions and extensions.
In places like Denvilles, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Denvilles questions
Could my house in Denvilles contain asbestos?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Denvilles can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do textured ceilings in Denvilles homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor roof work can be delayed by strong wind or heavy rain.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but never sand it first, and keep a record.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll explain the options.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.

- The survey scope
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

- A close-up from a safe distance

What it might be made of
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
How it works
We finish by cleaning the room thoroughly. Before we start, we walk through the job with you and answer any questions.
- Describe the rooms and coatings
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and send a quote
- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking and access
- Clear the way to the work area
- Keep children and pets away on the day
