Artex removal for Quarley
Artex removal near Quarley
Textured coatings like Artex were used on ceilings and walls for decades, and those applied before 2000 can contain a small amount of asbestos. We test first, then remove the coating with controlled wet methods if needed. Typical jobs include ceilings coming down and walls before tiling, involving stipple finishes, Artex ceilings and coated ceiling roses.
Village homes like those in Quarley have often been altered several times, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Every quote is in writing and spells out what’s covered, so you know where you stand.

Don’ts
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Responsibilities for owners
For managing agents and freeholders in Quarley, the register for shared areas needs keeping current and sharing with trades, and condition checked regularly.
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should find out whether the roofs are asbestos cement, before anyone carries out repairs.
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
Quarley questions
Do you cover Quarley and the area around Grateley station?
Yes. Grateley station is about 1.6 miles south of Quarley, and we cover both.
Do you cover small places like Quarley?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
Typically you can use other rooms: the work room is closed off until it’s finished.
Is my textured ceiling in Quarley asbestos?
Not necessarily: many textured coatings do not contain asbestos. A test will tell you.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material, with photos if possible. Then call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Buildings from after 2000 shouldn’t, because of the 1999 ban, although older materials can sometimes be reused or left in extensions.
Can you help with a flat?
We do. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
When can you start?
That depends on the work and current bookings. We will give you dates when we quote.

Choosing the right option
What are the options for Artex? Intact coatings with no work planned can often stay; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is normally better. Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.
