About our artex removal in Roffey
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. People often contact us about flaking textured ceilings and ceilings before skimming, involving swirl patterns, Artex ceilings and coated plasterboard.
In towns and villages like Roffey, textured ceilings are a common renovation find, and testing comes first. We start with a clear answer: what the material is, and what that means for your plans.

Your options compared
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. What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials involved, how much there is, access and paperwork. Every quote is individual.
Why choose us
- Lab analysis by an accredited laboratory
- Work done to the regulations
- Paperwork you can show your buyer, landlord or builder
- Domestic and commercial work
Where asbestos turns up
Most problems come during renovation: sanding, dry scraping or drilling releases fibres.
Typical jobs in Roffey include:

- Ceilings coming down
- Ceilings before skimming
- Walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit
If you are refurbishing flats near Littlehaven station, coatings can be tested while the flat is empty.

Roffey: your questions answered
Do you cover Roffey from London?
We cover Roffey, about 31 miles from central London.
Do you work near Littlehaven station?
Yes, we cover Roffey and the area towards Littlehaven station, about 0.6 miles north-west.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Either can work: the right choice depends on the room. We will recommend one for each room.
Do you give written quotes?

How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. To do that, ring 07833 053 749, or send the details through our contact page.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes. A pre-purchase survey tells you what’s there before you exchange, with the seller’s permission.

Helpful guides
Should you do it yourself?
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, quite apart from the asbestos, so stay off it.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
