Artex removal in Martyr's Green
Planning a renovation in Martyr's Green with textured ceilings? Test them before rewiring, fitting downlights or plastering. Common materials are coated plasterboard, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and typical jobs are ceilings due to be knocked through or removed and coatings in the way of electrical work.
Rural homes near Martyr's Green have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Not sure what you need? Just ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.

Martyr's Green questions
Do older homes in Martyr's Green have asbestos?
If your home in Martyr's 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.
Do you cover Martyr's Green from London?
Martyr's Green is about 20 miles from central London, well within our area.
How quickly can you come out?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Work on higher-risk materials, such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board, is licensed and must be done by an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings normally are not licensed.
