Artex removal near Palestine
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. From ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights and loft conversions, we cover swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses and more.
Village homes like those in Palestine have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Clear answers come first: is it asbestos, and what should you do about it.

- Each different coating needs testing
What to avoid
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.

Your questions about Artex removal in Palestine
Do textured ceilings in Palestine homes contain asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
How far is Palestine from London?
Palestine is about 70 miles from central London, well within our area.
What should I do if I’ve disturbed asbestos?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional; your GP can advise if you’re worried about your health.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
How can I get a price?
Ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is my textured ceiling in Palestine asbestos?
Not every coating does: plenty of textured coatings contain no asbestos. Testing a sample is how you find out.
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.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always. Sound material that will not be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Prices and what affects them
When we quote, we look at:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- How many samples are needed
- Location, parking and any London charges
- Waste quantity and disposal
Dealing with asbestos before building work is generally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- Damaged areas
- An idea of size
- A close-up from a safe distance
- The parking area
If you have a survey or test result, include it when you send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749; it helps us quote accurately.
