Artex removal for Park Gate
How artex removal works in Park Gate
Skimming or boarding over an intact coating avoids disturbing it, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. Typical jobs include coatings scraped during DIY and loft conversions, including Artex ceilings, swirl patterns and textured walls.
Village homes like those in Park Gate have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when leaving a material alone is the sensible choice.

Your questions about Artex removal in Park Gate
Do you cover small places like Park Gate?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you cover Park Gate from London?
Park Gate is about 67 miles from central London, well within our area.
What does licensed work mean?
Licensed work is work on the materials most likely to release fibres: pipe lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board. It needs a contractor with an HSE licence.
Can I stay at home while you work?
Normally you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Can you quote from photos?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; otherwise we will arrange a visit.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
How do I know if my property contains asbestos?
Looking will not tell you. A sample analysed in a laboratory is the reliable way to find out, especially in buildings from before 2000.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
What affects the price in Park Gate
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Travel and parking
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- What the material is and its state
How easy the material is to reach affects the price, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.
What to photograph
When you send photos, these help most:
- Visible markings
- The access route
- An overall view
- A clear close-up
Photos and a postcode help us quote quickly: ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
After the job
The ceiling or wall is left ready for your plasterer.
A few practical points:
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Keep pets away
- Test every different coating
- Give us room sizes
What to avoid
Test before the builders arrive.
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
