Artex removal for Murrell Green
Artex removal in Murrell Green
If your renovation in Murrell Green involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Typical materials include coated ceiling roses, textured walls and swirl patterns, and people typically contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and walls before tiling.
Village homes like those in Murrell Green have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Small jobs get the same care as big ones, with the same attention to the regulations.

Should you do it yourself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres.

Common questions in Murrell Green
Do textured ceilings in Murrell Green homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Could my house in Murrell Green contain asbestos?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Murrell Green may have it. Common places include garage roofs, textured ceilings, floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both are options: the right choice depends on the room. We will advise room by room.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. In a block, the shared areas are the responsibility of the managing agent or freeholder, who should hold the asbestos register.
Why people call us in Murrell Green
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some included a little chrysotile.
Get advice if you’re dealing with any of these:
- Textured walls before a refit
- Landlord refurbishments
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before plastering
If your home is one of the older properties in Murrell Green, near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
Before booking anyone

- That samples are analysed by an accredited laboratory

Responsibilities for owners
Contractors working for you need asbestos information before they start. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Letting agents often ask about asbestos before maintenance work. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
What affects the price in Murrell Green
The cost depends on:
- How easy it is to reach
- The size of the job
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The type of material and its condition
Our quotes are clear about VAT, so you can compare like with like.
