Artex removal in Redbridge
Ceilings, walls and coated boards can all be dealt with, in houses, flats and commercial premises across Redbridge. We often deal with Artex ceilings, coated ceiling roses and textured walls, and typical jobs are textured walls before a refit and coatings already disturbed.
Rural homes near Redbridge have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

Questions from Redbridge
Do older homes in Redbridge have asbestos?
Any home in Redbridge built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but you cannot tell by looking. Look at garage roofs, textured ceilings, old floor tiles, soffits and flues.
Do you come out to small villages like Redbridge?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
It depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will advise for each room.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The room being worked on has to be empty and sealed off. Often you can stay in other rooms.
How do I get a quote?
Just ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Do you work in Redbridge?
Yes, we do: Redbridge is within the area we cover in Oxfordshire. Share the postcode and a short description and we will quote.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
Make the area safe first: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
