How artex removal works in North Camp
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. Testing a sample tells you, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. People often contact us about coatings damaged by leaks and loft conversions and extensions, including coated ceiling roses, swirl patterns and coated plasterboard.
In North Camp, textured coatings are often in several rooms, so test each different coating. Every job comes with paperwork, because buyers, landlords and builders often ask for it.

For landlords, agents and businesses
If your business premises in North Camp were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and you must tell contractors what’s there.
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.
Should you do it yourself?
If you do find something during DIY, stop: leave the area, do not clean it up, and ask for advice.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE recommends a competent person takes samples.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Parking and access charges
- Disposal costs
- How much there is
- Licensed or non-licensed
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, such as testing several materials at once.

Your questions about Artex removal in North Camp
Do you work near North Camp station?
Yes, we cover North Camp and the area towards North Camp station, about 0.9 miles east.
Is the Artex in my North Camp home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that will not be disturbed can often be left and managed. It should be recorded and checked.
Is it OK to scrape off Artex?
Not before testing. Sanding or dry scraping an asbestos coating releases fibres.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise room by room.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
Do you give written quotes?
Always: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included, and whether VAT is included.

- We seal the room and remove the coating with wet methods
- The waste is bagged, the room cleaned and the waste taken to a permitted site
