How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- How much waste there is
- The quantity or area
- Material and condition
- The category of work
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- Any labels or markings, if you can see them safely
- A close-up from a safe distance
- An idea of size
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Duty holders and landlords in Flexford

Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Which option is right?

Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Questions from Flexford
Do older homes in Flexford have asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Flexford can contain it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Flexford home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
What if the weather’s bad?
That depends: indoor jobs are not affected, but outdoor removal may be rescheduled for safety.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, though some need a visit first.
How can I get a price?
Use our quote form or call 07833 053 749. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many don’t. A test will tell you.
