Artex removal in Hale End
Artex removal for Hale End properties
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From landlord refurbishments and ceilings before plastering, we deal with coated ceiling roses, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard and more.
Textured ceilings are a common find in renovations in places like Hale End, often painted over many times. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Helpful guides
For landlords, agents and businesses
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or survey gives a definite answer.
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so the duty to manage applies.

Hale End: your questions answered
Do you cover Hale End and the area around Highams Park station?

Yes, we work across London. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan; all of Greater London is inside the ULEZ.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
A survey report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, depending on the job.
How can I get a price?
Send us the details: the postcode, what you’ve found and where it is. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Is my textured ceiling in Hale End asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Leave the area, keep others out and close the door if you can. Don’t try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
How we price Artex removal
Quotes vary because of:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Licensed or non-licensed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How much there is
Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.
Helping us quote
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- An overall view
- Visible markings
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.

If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
To avoid problems in future:
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Book your plasterer after removal
