About our artex removal in Goodmayes
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. We often deal with coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people normally contact us about loft conversions and ceilings coming down.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in areas like Goodmayes, often painted over many times. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

How we price Artex removal
The cost depends on:
- Disposal costs
- The type of material and its condition
- Parking and access charges
- The size of the job
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
Photos that help
Helpful photos:
- Visible markings
- An overall view
- The parking area
- A clear close-up
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: don’t touch the material, just send them through our quote form.
Doing it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
How we work
On the day, we seal off the room and protect floors and fittings, then keep the coating wet throughout. We begin by confirming exactly what we are doing.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We sample the coating first
- We plan the method and quote
- The room is sealed off and the coating removed wet, never sanded or dry-scraped
- We clean up and dispose of the waste legally
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out previous surveys
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know if something’s broken
How to get a quote
Tell us about the material, its location and your plans. Then ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.

Things not to do

Don’t sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
What’s included, and what isn’t
So you know what to expect:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, so allow time
- We test before removal, since a negative result changes everything

If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.

Goodmayes questions
Can you work in Goodmayes with London’s parking rules?
Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do older homes in Goodmayes have asbestos?
Any home in Goodmayes built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you can’t tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
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.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If you are responsible for a non-domestic building or the common parts of flats in Goodmayes, you have a duty to manage asbestos under regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. That means finding it, assessing it, recording it and planning how to manage it.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Done to the regulations: HSE guidance and CAR 2012
