Artex removal for Green Street
About our artex removal in Green Street
A textured ceiling in good condition is low risk if it’s left alone. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in Green Street. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and textured walls, and typical jobs are coatings in the way of electrical work and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
In a village like Green Street, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. Nothing is added to the job that you do not need.

After we have finished in Green Street
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
Some practical advice:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you will stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Test every different coating
Avoid these
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating and ask for advice.
Typical Artex jobs in Green Street
Textured coatings continued to be made after asbestos was taken out of them, so a textured ceiling isn’t automatically asbestos.
These are some of the things we deal with in Green Street:
- Rented flats before redecoration
- Ceilings coming down
- Damaged or cracked coatings
- Ceilings before plastering
Older homes across Green Street may have coatings added during past renovations.

Materials, one by one
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Ceiling roses and cornices
They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Good to know
So you know what to expect:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We test before removal, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
Not sure what you need? Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Helpful guides
Green Street questions
Is the Artex in my Green Street home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Green Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
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.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Can you come if the asbestos is damaged?
First, keep everyone away and don’t clean it up. Then contact us and we will advise on the next step.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not, according to HSE. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is typically best. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our cost guides show published ranges, with dates and sources.
