Artex removal for Easton
Artex removal for Easton properties
Artex and similar coatings are common on ceilings in Easton, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard, and people usually contact us about ceilings before skimming and coatings damaged by DIY.
Village homes like those in Easton have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We only recommend work that is needed.

Your questions about Artex removal in Easton
Do you come out to small villages like Easton?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Could my house in Easton contain asbestos?
Any home in Easton built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, every quote is in writing and says what’s included.
What if the weather’s bad?
Indoor work isn’t affected. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Do you work in flats?
We do. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Weighing up your options
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.

How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- The category of work
- Travel and parking
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The survey scope
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The parking area
- The access route

Why people call us in Easton
Coatings get damaged by water leaks, cracks and DIY, so they may start to flake.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before plastering
- Flaking textured ceilings
- Textured walls before a refit
- Ceilings before downlights go in
A school like All Saints Church of England Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested, before decorators start.
