Artex removal for Heath End
Artex removal in Heath End
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test the coating, then remove it safely if it contains asbestos. Typical jobs include extensions that cut into ceilings and ceilings coming down, involving coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Heath End have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

How much does Artex removal cost in Heath End?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
What does licensed work mean?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically are not licensed.

Afterwards
Covered coatings should be recorded.
