Artex removal in Slaugham
Taking down the plasterboard can be easier than stripping the coating. We will explain which suits your rooms. Common materials are swirl patterns, textured walls and coated ceiling roses, and people generally contact us about ceilings due for plastering or skimming and damaged or cracked coatings.
Rural homes near Slaugham have often been altered over generations, so coatings may date from earlier work. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Do you come out to small villages like Slaugham?
We do: small villages are covered too. Tell us about access and parking.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?

Do you work in Slaugham?
Yes, Slaugham is in our area. Tell us the postcode and what you need.
How dangerous is asbestos?
It can be, if fibres are released and breathed in. The related diseases often take decades to develop, which is why it’s identified before work.
How quickly can you come out?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Notifiable jobs cannot start until they’ve been notified.
Does weather affect the work?
Indoor jobs go ahead in any weather. Outdoor removal may be postponed in strong wind or heavy rain, for safety.
Materials, one by one
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Painted coatings
We sample through the paint into the coating.
Prices and what affects them
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- The quantity or area
- Parking and access charges
- The category of work
- The number of samples or the size of the building
Grouping jobs together can keep costs down, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.
Sending photos
What to photograph:
- Visible markings
- A picture of the whole area
- A rough size or measurement
- Cracks or breaks
Each job is priced individually. Send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749 to get started.
The scope of Artex removal
A few things to be aware of:
- Plastering and making good are normally separate jobs
- We need the room cleared
- Untested coatings are tested first, because a clear result means ordinary methods can be used
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before you book.

For businesses and landlords in Slaugham
Landlords of garage blocks and outbuildings should know what the roofs are made of, before anyone carries out repairs.
Before contractors start, they need to know about any asbestos. HSE’s campaigns stress this point to building owners and trades alike.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
With a professional job, you get a record: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
