How artex removal works in Dragons Green
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include rented homes refurbished between tenants and damaged or cracked coatings, including Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
In areas like Dragons Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

A closer look at the materials
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
Ceiling roses and cornices
We sample them if needed.
For businesses and landlords in Dragons Green
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Disposal costs
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Material and condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is typically cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.

Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
FAQs for Dragons Green
How far is Dragons Green from London?
We cover Dragons Green, about 37 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Dragons Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, and the material needs identifying before work resumes.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Stop work, leave the area and don’t try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you’re worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you work on commercial premises?
We do. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need, and any existing asbestos register.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Generally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
