Artex removal near Mursley
Mursley: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Mursley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Mursley home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Send us the details of the premises, and any existing asbestos register.
What if the weather’s bad?
It depends on the job: indoor work carries on, while outdoor roof work may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
Normally not: HSE treats textured coating work as normally non-licensed, though large steam or gel jobs are notifiable.
Can you help a business or landlord?
Yes, we do. Landlords, agents, businesses and builders all use our services.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
Does someone need to be there?
Someone needs to give us access to the areas involved.
How artex removal works in Mursley
We remove textured coatings from ceilings, walls, ceiling roses and coated boards, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Mursley. People often contact us about ceilings coming down and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, including coated plasterboard, Artex ceilings and stipple finishes.
Rural homes near Mursley have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, as the right approach depends on the material.

For businesses and landlords in Mursley
If you own a block of garages or outbuildings that you let should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before repairs are arranged.
Void periods are a good time for asbestos work, when rooms are empty and work can be done without disruption.
DIY and asbestos
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Step by step
If we are taking the boards down instead, they’re removed whole where possible and bagged or wrapped. We keep the work area clear of other people while we work, so please keep children and pets away.

Which option is right?
Strip the coating or take the boards down? Stripping keeps the ceiling; taking boards down whole can be quicker and cleaner in some rooms. A price that looks too good to be true often is: proper controls, lab analysis and legal waste disposal cost money.
