How artex removal works in Sheffield Bottom
For an asbestos coating, the room is sealed, the coating kept wet and nothing sanded or dry-scraped. Whether it’s ceilings coming down and coatings in the way of electrical work, we cover coated plasterboard, stipple finishes and coated ceiling roses.
In areas like Sheffield Bottom, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes, often added during past renovations. We only recommend work that’s needed.

Sheffield Bottom: your questions answered
Is the Artex in my Sheffield Bottom home asbestos?
Some older coatings do, and many don’t. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Do you cover Sheffield Bottom from London?
Sheffield Bottom is about 42 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do I need a test or a survey?
Testing covers particular materials, while a survey covers everything in scope. Before building work, you normally need a survey.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, so we quote after testing.
When can you start?
Dates are agreed once the quote is accepted. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Either can work: it depends on the room and the condition of the ceiling. We will recommend one for each room.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
Never: skips and household bins can’t take asbestos. It must go to a permitted site.
What if asbestos is found during building work?
Work there should pause and the area be kept clear. We can test the material and, if needed, plan its removal.
What it might be made of
Textured walls
Walls can have textured coatings too.
Painted coatings
Many coatings have been painted over, which doesn’t change what’s underneath.
What affects the price in Sheffield Bottom
The biggest factors in the price are:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- Location, parking and any London charges
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- The category of work
What you pay depends on the job itself: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. Every quote is individual.
