Artex removal for Three Mile Cross properties
Covering an intact coating is one option, but the asbestos is still there and should be recorded for future work. People often contact us about damaged or cracked coatings and ceilings due to be knocked through or removed, including textured walls, coated plasterboard and swirl patterns.
Rural homes near Three Mile Cross have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. If you’re unsure what you need, ask: we’ll recommend a test, a survey or removal, whichever fits.

A closer look at the materials
Ceiling roses and cornices
Decorative mouldings are sometimes coated too.
Patched areas
Patches may be newer material.
Doing it yourself?
HSE advises the public not to repair or remove asbestos themselves. Licensed materials are strictly for licensed contractors.
Asbestos waste cannot 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.
Landlords, managing agents and employers
Between tenancies is a good time to deal with asbestos, while the property is empty.
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but contractors still need to know about asbestos before they work.
Three Mile Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover Three Mile Cross from London?
We cover Three Mile Cross, about 38 miles from central London.
Is the Artex in my Three Mile Cross home asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings do not contain asbestos. Only a test will tell you.
Do you need to see it before quoting?
Often we can quote from clear photos and a description; if not, we’ll arrange to see it.
Is a home built after 2000 likely to contain asbestos?
Asbestos was banned in 1999, so buildings built after 2000 shouldn’t contain it, but older parts and reused materials can still contain it.
How can I get a price?
Start with the postcode and a description of the material. Then send photos through our quote form, or phone 07833 053 749.
How much does Artex removal cost in Three Mile Cross?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
How dangerous is asbestos?
Asbestos fibres can cause serious lung diseases years after exposure. The main risk is from disturbing it, which is why identifying it first matters.
Should I take the ceiling down instead?
Both work; it depends on the room. We will explain the options.
What’s included, and what is not
So you know what to expect:
- Other materials may need their own approach
- Larger-scale steam or gel removal must be notified before it starts, which affects the start date
- We need the room cleared
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise before booking.

Options to consider in Three Mile Cross
Test, leave, cover or remove? If it’s intact and no work will go through it, leaving or covering can make sense; if you want smooth ceilings or need to cut into it, removal is typically better. There’s no one-size price, as every job differs. Our guides list published price ranges from other companies, with sources.
Why people choose us
