How artex removal works in Nash Lee
If your renovation in Nash Lee involves textured ceilings, get them tested before electricians or plasterers start. Common materials are Artex ceilings, coated plasterboard and textured walls, and typical jobs are walls before tiling and coatings already disturbed.
Rural homes near Nash Lee have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What it costs
What changes the cost:
- Parking and access charges
- The type of material and its condition
- How much waste there is
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
A price that looks too good to be true often is: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
- An idea of size

Nash Lee questions
How far is Nash Lee from London?
We cover Nash Lee, about 35 miles from central London.
Do you cover small places like Nash Lee?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do. We work for landlords, managing agents, employers and contractors as well as homeowners.
Can you quote from photos?
Clear photos and measurements are often enough; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We’ll give you dates when we quote.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
Normally not: HSE’s code of practice says textured coating work is not normally licensable, but larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified first.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone has to let us into all the areas in the job, and it helps if you are around to answer questions.
Can I sand my Artex ceiling smooth?
Only once you know it’s clear. If it contains asbestos, sanding releases fibres.
What it might be made of
Painted coatings
The sample includes the coating itself.
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
The duty to manage applies to non-domestic premises and common parts, not to single private homes, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Step by step
Our team wears protective equipment, and keep the room closed while we work. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion.
- Describe the coatings and rooms
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the removal and send a quote
- We seal off the room and remove the coating wet
- The room is cleaned and you get the paperwork
How to prepare
- Don’t disturb the material before we get there
- Keep children and pets away on the day
- Let us know if something’s broken

Weighing up your options

Should you do it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Planned to HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Asbestos waste double-bagged or wrapped and taken to a permitted site
