Artex removal for Lions Green properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. Typical jobs include ceilings due for plastering or skimming and ceilings before downlights go in, including swirl patterns, coated plasterboard and textured walls.
In a village like Lions Green, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. You get written paperwork for every job: a report, laboratory results or a waste consignment note, for your records.

Prices and what affects them
Every quote reflects:
- How much waste there is
- Travel and parking
- The category of work
- Material and condition
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
Helping us quote
When you send photos, these help most:
- The parking area
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
- An idea of size
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
For landlords, agents and businesses
Schools, halls and community buildings are non-domestic premises, so whoever runs them has a duty to manage asbestos.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Materials we deal with
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
How we work
If we’re taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible. Unexpected finds are discussed with you first before carrying on.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- If it contains asbestos, we agree the method and quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
Getting ready
- Keep the area clear of children and pets
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Let us know if something’s broken
How to get a quote
You’ll get a written quote. Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Helpful guides
Places near Lions Green
What happens next
After removal, the room is cleaned and the waste goes to a permitted site, with a consignment note.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Test every different coating
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Give us room sizes
What to avoid
Don’t try DIY removal products on untested coatings.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Should you do it yourself?
Found something mid-DIY? Stop: keep people away, do not sweep or vacuum it up, and get advice.
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
Questions from Lions Green
Could my house in Lions Green contain asbestos?
If your home in Lions Green was built or refurbished before 2000, it may, but you cannot tell by looking. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Is the Artex in my Lions Green home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Is my textured ceiling in Lions Green asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Could my home contain asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We’ll advise room by room.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Stop, keep people away from the area and do not sweep or vacuum up debris. Then ask for advice; if you are worried about your health, speak to your GP.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we will arrange to see it.
Typical Artex jobs in Lions Green

- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Coatings scraped during DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Structural work through coated ceilings
Older homes across Lions Green may have coatings added during past renovations.

Options to consider in Lions Green
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; for smooth ceilings or work through the ceiling, removal is usually best. A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
