Your questions about Artex removal in Eversley
Do textured ceilings in Eversley homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like Eversley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Can I just skim over it?
Covering it is an option if it’s intact, but don’t sand it first, and record that it’s there.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then get in touch and we will advise.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.

Can I do it myself?

A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.

- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets out of the work area
- File the test result and waste note
- Photos help us quote
