Artex removal in Pitch Place
Artex removal for Pitch Place properties
Many Artex ceilings contain no asbestos at all. A small sample tells you which you have, so your plasterer can carry on if it’s clear. We often deal with swirl patterns, stipple finishes and coated plasterboard, and typical jobs are ceilings coming down and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit.
Rural homes near Pitch Place have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. We work to HSE guidance on every job, large or small.

What drives the price:
- Parking and access charges

Compare what each quote includes, not just the total: scope, method, waste disposal and paperwork.
What to photograph
Photos often save us a visit:
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- An overall view
You’ll get a written quote. Just use our quote form or call 07833 053 749 with the details, including any survey or test you already have.
Afterwards
Tell your plasterer and electrician what was done.
Keeping things safe:
- Keep pets away
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
Avoid these
Plan testing before the renovation starts.
Don’t use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
A closer look at the materials
Textured walls
Walls are treated like ceilings.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
For managing agents and freeholders in Pitch Place, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
If your business premises in Pitch Place were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Limits to be aware of
To be clear about the scope:
- Big jobs need notifying in advance, which affects the start date
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we’ll advise before you book.

Should you do it yourself?
Power tools, sanding and jet-washing release the most fibres, so avoid them completely.
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.

Do you come out to small villages like Pitch Place?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.

It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
How much does Artex removal cost in Pitch Place?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do you give written quotes?
Every time: the quote is in writing and sets out what’s included.
Do you need a licence to remove Artex?
