About our artex removal in Elmer
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Elmer. Common materials are stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are rented flats before redecoration and textured walls before a refit.
In places like Elmer, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Choosing the right option
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Always test first. Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when everything has to stop.
Why us?
- Work planned to HSE guidance and the regulations
- Samples analysed by an accredited laboratory
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- London, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and beyond

After we’ve finished in Elmer
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Some practical advice:
- Photos help us quote
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Book your plasterer after removal
Don’ts
Test before the builders arrive.
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Should you do it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Your questions about Artex removal in Elmer
Do textured ceilings in Elmer homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover Elmer from London?
Elmer is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs aren’t affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. Diseases linked to it, such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, can appear many years later, which is why it’s identified before work.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not until it’s been tested. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Responsibilities for owners
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
For managing agents and freeholders in Elmer, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
