Artex removal in Forty Green
Artex removal in Forty Green
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. From damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings before plastering, we deal with coated ceiling roses, textured walls and swirl patterns and more.
In areas like Forty Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

FAQs for Forty Green
Do you cover small places like Forty Green?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do textured ceilings in Forty Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
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.
How much does Artex removal cost in Forty Green?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Does asbestos always have to come out?
Not always. If it’s in good condition and nobody will disturb it, leaving it in place and checking it can be the safer choice.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.

Options to consider in Forty Green
Remove the coating, or the whole ceiling? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

What it costs
Prices vary with:
- How easy it is to reach
- How much there is
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Licensed or non-licensed
The cost of Artex removal depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
What to photograph
Before you send photos, a few tips:
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
- Visible markings
Not sure what you need? Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 and describe the problem, and we will advise.
Doing it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Plastering and making good are generally separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before you book.

Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before plastering
- Extensions that cut into ceilings
- Damaged or cracked coatings
For a school such as Holtspur School & Pre-School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings.
