Artex removal for Perry
How artex removal works in Perry
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We’ll explain which suits your rooms. From walls before tiling and loft conversions, we deal with textured walls, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes.
In towns and villages like Perry, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Why people call us in Perry
Textured coatings were popular for decades because they hid cracks and uneven plaster, and some contained a small amount of white asbestos (chrysotile) for strength.
These are the materials and situations that most often lead to Artex jobs:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings coming down
- Coatings already disturbed
- Loft conversions and extensions
A school like Preston Primary School should know from its asbestos register whether coatings have been tested.

What it might be made of

They’re included in the test if they’re coated.
Artex ceilings
Swirl, stipple and other patterns on ceilings are the most common textured coatings.
Options to consider in Perry
A low price may mean shortcuts. Ask how the coating will be removed and where the waste goes. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Your questions about Artex removal in Perry
Do you cover Perry from London?
Perry is about 59 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you cover Perry and the area around Adisham station?
Yes. Adisham station is about 3.6 miles south-west of Perry, and we cover both.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Can you help with a shop or office?
We do, alongside homes. The duty holder should be able to share the asbestos register.
Do you cover Perry?
Yes, we do: our area includes Perry and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
What if my house is newer?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Will I get the price in writing?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes: homeowners, landlords, managing agents, businesses and contractors. Send the details.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
What’s included, and what isn’t
Some limits to bear in mind:
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
- Other asbestos materials found in the room are dealt with separately
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
If in doubt, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
Materials in Perry
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)

What happens next
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, for future work.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Photos help us quote
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Keep pets away
Don’ts
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces and ask for advice.
