Artex removal near Dora's Green
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and older ones can contain a little asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include walls before tiling and landlord refurbishments, including swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Dora's Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that is needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Questions from Dora's Green
Do you cover Dora's Green from London?
Dora's Green is about 37 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Dora's Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many do not. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How much does Artex removal cost in Dora's Green?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Most asbestos cement and textured coatings are non-licensed or notifiable non-licensed.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger steam or gel jobs must be notified first.

We do: our area includes Dora's Green and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Choosing the right option
Skimming over Artex is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. When comparing quotes, check what’s included: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
Why us?
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Homes, rented property and workplaces
- Covering London and the South East
- Legal disposal, with paperwork
Read how we quote and our cost guide.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets away
Things not to do
Test before the builders arrive.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Should you do it yourself?
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Disposal costs
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The size of the job
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
