About our artex removal in Rew Street
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry, with the waste bagged and taken to a permitted site. Typical jobs include loft conversions and ceilings due for rewiring or new downlights, including stipple finishes, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings.
Village homes like those in Rew Street have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Rew Street questions
Is the Artex in my Rew Street home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Only a test will tell you.
Do you cover small places like Rew Street?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
What paperwork will I get?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
Can you advise before I buy a property?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.
How can I get a price?
Just send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749. Include the postcode, a description and photos.
Is damaged asbestos an emergency?
First, keep people away from the damaged material: close it off and do not clean it up yourself. Then contact us for advice on the next step.
How quickly can you come out?
That depends on the work and current bookings. You will get available dates with the quote.
How much does Artex removal cost in Rew Street?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote after testing.

DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so never climb onto one.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
What happens next
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, with a consignment note.
Once we are done:
- Each different coating needs testing
- Keep the results and paperwork
- Photos help us quote
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
Don’ts
Keep away from flaking or fallen coating.
