Artex removal for Harefield properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. From extensions that cut into ceilings and landlord refurbishments, we deal with coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings and more.
In Harefield, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so each type needs testing. We start with a clear answer: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

Questions from Harefield
Is asbestos common in Harefield homes?
That depends on when it was built and altered: asbestos was used until the 1999 ban, so older homes and older alterations in Harefield can contain it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
How far is Harefield from London?
Harefield is about 18 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop work, leave the area and do not try to clean up. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you cover Harefield?
Yes, we do: our area includes Harefield and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description for a quote.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
How much does Artex removal cost in Harefield?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Choosing the right option
Plastering over it is an option, but never sand it first, and the asbestos stays in the building. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
