The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Sometimes it’s simpler to remove the boards whole.
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Artex removal near High Salvington
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. Testing a sample tells you, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, stipple finishes and textured walls, and people generally contact us about coatings damaged by DIY and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In a smaller place like High Salvington, textured ceilings often show up when people renovate older family homes, and testing comes first. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will tell you honestly whether it’s a test, a survey or removal.

For landlords, agents and businesses
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should know what the roofs are made of, before repairs are arranged.
Prices and what affects them
Prices vary with:
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Whether the work is non-licensed, notifiable or licensed
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Access to the area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Photos help us understand the job before we visit. Take them without disturbing anything:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- Approximate dimensions
- Where we could park
- A clear close-up
