Artex removal near Finmere

Whether it’s coatings damaged by DIY and ceilings due for plastering or skimming, we deal with Artex ceilings, textured walls and swirl patterns.
In places like Finmere, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance, whatever the size of the job.

Your options compared
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is usually better. Sometimes a test shows removal isn’t needed, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

What else we do in Finmere
Typical Artex jobs in Finmere
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
These are some of the things we deal with in Finmere:
- Ceilings due for plastering or skimming
- Loft conversions and extensions
- Coatings in the way of electrical work
- Ceilings coming down
Non-domestic buildings like Finmere Church of England Primary School should already have records of any textured coatings.
Questions to ask before booking
- For licensed work, a valid HSE licence
- Whether they’re insured for asbestos work
- What exactly is included: the areas, materials or samples
- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory
Responsibilities for owners
Community buildings count as non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Can I do it myself?
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials, so avoid them completely.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
Materials we deal with
Coated plasterboard
Taking boards down whole avoids stripping the coating.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Finmere: your questions answered
How far is Finmere from London?
Finmere is about 54 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Finmere home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How much does Artex removal cost in Finmere?
It depends on the area, the number of rooms, the method and the waste. We quote after testing.
How can I get a price?
Just fill in the enquiry form or give us a call on 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Can I just skim over it?
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but do not sand it first, and record that it’s there.
What paperwork will I get?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Keep people away from damaged material and don’t clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. Non-domestic premises have a duty holder who should hold an asbestos register.
