About our artex removal in Hale Green
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. From walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit and coatings scraped during DIY, we deal with coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls and more.
In towns and villages like Hale Green, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
To avoid problems in future:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Give us room sizes
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Keep pets out of the work area
Avoid these
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
What’s included, and what is not
We are upfront about what’s included:
- 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
- We need the room cleared

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Hale Green
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Coatings damaged by leaks
A school like Chiddingly Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

- VAT, clearly stated

Landlords, managing agents and employers
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE regularly reminds owners and trades of it.

FAQs for Hale Green
Do you cover Hale Green from London?
Hale Green is about 43 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is the Artex in my Hale Green home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Will I get the price in writing?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we’ll arrange a visit.
How much does Artex removal cost in Hale Green?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Can I plaster over Artex that contains asbestos?
You can, if it’s intact: covering it leaves it undisturbed. Never sand it beforehand, and record its location.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Asbestos is a hazard when its fibres get into the air. The related diseases often take decades to develop, so the aim is never to disturb it unknowingly.
