About our artex removal in Leamouth
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. Common materials are swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses, and people usually contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
In flats and houses around Leamouth, textured ceilings often turn up during renovation, often painted over many times. Every job ends with paperwork: a report, results or a consignment note, so you have a record.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Options to consider in Leamouth
Very cheap quotes for Artex removal can mean dry scraping or sanding. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Identifying asbestos early is cheaper than stopping work later, when the whole project can be held up.

What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The category of work
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Photos that help
Photo tips:
- An idea of size
- The parking area
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- A wide shot showing where the material is
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you’re planning. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
Afterwards
Keep the test result and waste paperwork with your property records.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets away
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Book your plasterer after removal
Avoid these
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
Test before the builders arrive.
Limits to be aware of
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Untested coatings are tested first, since a negative result changes everything
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- Other materials may need their own approach

What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.

Always: you get the scope and price in writing, and whether VAT is included.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: asbestos waste is hazardous and cannot go in skips, bins or recycling. It must go to a permitted site.
