Artex removal in Ewell Minnis
Sometimes it’s simpler to take the ceiling boards down whole than to strip the coating. We will talk you through the options for your rooms in Ewell Minnis. People often contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and loft conversions, involving Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Ewell Minnis have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

Ewell Minnis questions
Do you cover Ewell Minnis and the area around Kearsney station?
Yes. Kearsney station is about 1.9 miles east of Ewell Minnis, and we cover both.
Do older homes in Ewell Minnis have asbestos?
If your home in Ewell Minnis was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area in the job, and to be available for questions.
How can I get a price?
Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
What if my house is newer?
Homes built after 2000 shouldn’t contain asbestos, as it was banned in 1999, though older parts, reused materials or earlier outbuildings can.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.

Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
