Your questions about Artex removal in Plummers Plain
Do you cover Plummers Plain from London?
Plummers Plain is about 32 miles from central London, well within our area.
Is asbestos common in Plummers Plain homes?
It depends on its age and history: asbestos products were used until 1999, so pre-2000 homes and extensions in Plummers Plain may have it. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
It depends on what we do: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
Work in that area should stop, then have the material identified before anything else happens.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily, as many do not. The only way to know is to test a sample.
Do you cover Plummers Plain?
Yes, we do: our area includes Plummers Plain and the places around it. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
I think I’ve damaged asbestos. What now?
Get everyone out of the area and keep it closed. Do not try to clean up the debris yourself, then contact a professional.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
What happens next
The surface is left ready for making good.
Going forward:
- Clear the rooms before the work
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Give us room sizes
- Send photos of the coatings
What to avoid
Do not sand, scrape dry or wire-brush a textured coating before it’s been tested.
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Good to know
A few things to be aware of:
- Plastering and making good are usually separate jobs
- The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, so allow time
If in doubt, ask: we will recommend a test, a survey or removal before booking.
What we deal with
- Coated plasterboard
- Textured walls
- Artex ceilings
- Patched or painted coatings
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
What happens
The coating is softened with water, steam or gel and removed with hand tools, never sanded or scraped dry. Before we leave, we explain what we did and what comes next.
- Tell us which rooms and surfaces, and roughly how big they are
- We test the coating if it hasn’t been tested
- We plan the method and quote
- 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
Getting ready
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Do not disturb the material before we get there
- Clear access to the area, loft or garage
Getting a price
Photos taken from a safe distance are fine: send them through our contact page.

Common reasons for Artex jobs in Plummers Plain
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth getting advice:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Ceilings before skimming
- Ceilings coming down
- Flaking textured ceilings
For a school such as Newells Preparatory School, the duty holder’s records should show any coatings, before decorators start.
What to look for in a quote

For businesses and landlords in Plummers Plain
