Artex removal in New Denham
About our artex removal in New Denham
Left undisturbed, an intact textured coating is low risk. The problem comes when it’s sanded, scraped dry, drilled or knocked through during a renovation, which is why testing first matters in New Denham. Whether it’s damaged or cracked coatings and coatings scraped during DIY, we cover Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard and more.
Rural homes near New Denham have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so there are no surprises.

Helpful guides
Common questions in New Denham
Is the Artex in my New Denham home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you come out to small villages like New Denham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. If it contains asbestos, sanding or dry scraping releases fibres.
Could my home contain asbestos?
If it was built or refurbished before 2000, it may. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We will identify it and advise on removal.
How much does Artex removal cost in New Denham?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both are options: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We’ll recommend one for each room.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test checks specific materials; a survey checks a whole building or work area. For building work, a survey is generally needed.
