About our artex removal in Ewhurst Green
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, across Ewhurst Green. We often deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and swirl patterns, and typical jobs are textured walls before a refit and extensions that cut into ceilings.
Rural homes near Ewhurst Green have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, whatever the size of the job.

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
How we price Artex removal
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- What the material is and its state
- How much waste there is
- How easy it is to reach
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, because the material is clear.
What to photograph
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Labels, if any
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos and the postcode: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Patched areas
Patch repairs may use a different material from the original coating.
Ewhurst Green questions
Is the Artex in my Ewhurst Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Is asbestos common in Ewhurst Green homes?
If your home in Ewhurst Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you can’t tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
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 you help a business or landlord?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that will not be disturbed can often stay. It should be recorded and checked.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Stop work in that area and keep people out, then have the material identified before anything else happens.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Ewhurst Green
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
Common situations in older properties include:
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
For a school such as Ewhurst CofE Aided Infant School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
