Artex removal near Molash
Which option is right?
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, if the material turns out not to contain asbestos.

Artex removal in Molash
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about textured walls before a refit and ceilings before plastering, including coated ceiling roses, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
In a village like Molash, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike, often added during past renovations. We only recommend work that’s needed, and we’ll say when the right answer is to leave something alone.

Your questions about Artex removal in Molash
Do textured ceilings in Molash homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
How far is Molash from London?
Molash is about 47 miles from central London, well within our area.
Will I get the price in writing?
Yes, always.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: it’s hazardous waste. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Does someone need to be there?
We need access to every area involved in the job.
How can I get a price?
Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Can I do it myself?
Asbestos waste cannot go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Working on a fragile asbestos cement roof is dangerous in itself, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.

Avoid these
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
Where asbestos turns up
Renovations disturb coatings: sanding to smooth a ceiling, scraping it off dry or drilling for lights.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Typical situations are:
- Ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights
- Ceilings before skimming
- Coatings already disturbed
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
In older homes in Molash, textured ceilings were often added in later decades.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work is licensed, notifiable non-licensed or non-licensed
- The documents you’ll receive
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- Insurance appropriate to asbestos work
What it might be made of
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Artex ceilings
Patterned ceilings are the classic example.
What affects the price in Molash
Quotes vary because of:
- Travel and parking
- Licensed or non-licensed
- The quantity or area
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
