Artex removal in Noke Common
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. Typical jobs include ceilings before plastering and walls before tiling, including textured walls, swirl patterns and stipple finishes.
In a village like Noke Common, textured coatings turn up in cottages and later homes alike. We follow HSE guidance and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012.

Prices and what affects them
The cost depends on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Location, parking and any London charges
- How easy it is to reach
- The quantity or area
A test can sometimes save the cost of removal altogether, because the material is clear.
Photos that help
Good photos help us plan and quote. Take them from a safe distance without touching the material:
- The access route
- Approximate dimensions
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Cracks or breaks
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.
Good to know
Every job has limits; these are the usual ones:
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used

- Other materials may need their own approach

Helpful guides
Your questions about Artex removal in Noke Common
Do you cover small places like Noke Common?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Is the Artex in my Noke Common home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not every coating does: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Any building built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos. Only laboratory analysis of a sample can confirm it.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
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.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, though some need a visit first.
