Artex removal for Tonge Corner properties
Not every textured coating contains asbestos. A small sample tells you which you have, so work can go ahead normally if it’s negative. Typical materials include textured walls, coated plasterboard and Artex ceilings, and people normally contact us about extensions that cut into ceilings and rented homes refurbished between tenants.
In places like Tonge Corner, textured ceilings appear in older and newer homes. Nothing is removed until it’s been identified, because the method depends on what the material is.

Your questions about Artex removal in Tonge Corner
How far is Tonge Corner from London?
We cover Tonge Corner, about 39 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Tonge Corner homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
How much does Artex removal cost in Tonge Corner?
Room sizes, the method and the waste decide, and we quote once the coating has been tested.
When can you start?
We agree a date when you accept the quote. Some work has to be notified to the enforcing authority first, which affects timing.
What’s the difference between a test and a survey?
Testing tells you about particular materials; a survey inspects the whole building or work area and records everything it finds.
How can I get a price?
Just call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form. Tell us the postcode, what the material is and where, and send photos if you can.
Is my textured ceiling in Tonge Corner asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Where asbestos turns up
Leaks and DIY can damage coatings, which can make them crumble.
In older properties, we often see:
- Ceilings before downlights go in
- Ceilings due to be knocked through or removed
- Rented homes refurbished between tenants
- Coatings scraped during DIY
If your home is one of the older properties in Tonge Corner, near Church of St Giles or elsewhere, textured ceilings may date from an earlier renovation.
What your quote should include
- What category of work it is
- Laboratory analysis by an accredited lab
- If the price includes VAT
- How the waste will be disposed of, and whether you will get a consignment note

How we price Artex removal
The biggest factors in the price are:
- The number of samples or the size of the building
- How much there is
- Waste quantity and disposal
- The type of material and its condition
Dealing with asbestos before building work is normally cheaper than finding it mid-job, when the whole project can be held up.
Sending photos
Helpful photos:
- A closer photo of the material, without touching it
- Visible markings
- The route in: gates, steps, stairs or the loft hatch
- A wide shot showing where the material is
For an accurate quote, tell us what you’ve found, where it is and what you are planning. Call 07833 053 749 or use our quote form.
What we do and don’t cover
Before you book, note that:
- We need the room cleared
- Other materials may need their own approach
- We leave the surface ready for your plasterer
If you’re unsure, describe the job and send photos, and we will advise.
What we deal with
- Swirl and stipple patterns
- Patched or painted coatings
- Ceiling roses and cornices (coated)
- Textured walls
- Coated plasterboard
- Artex ceilings
After the job
If other rooms have textured coatings, record whether they’ve been tested, so future work is planned properly.
To avoid problems in future:
- File the test result and waste note
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Plan around the closed rooms
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
What to avoid
Do not use a steamer or chemical stripper on an untested coating.
If a coating has been damaged by a leak, keep people away from fallen pieces.
Should you do it yourself?
Never put asbestos in a bin or skip. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Sanding, drilling, cutting and jet-washing are the worst things you can do to asbestos materials.
How it works
For board removal, we take the boards down in whole pieces and bagged or wrapped. While we work, the area stays out of bounds, so arrange for pets and children to be elsewhere.
- Tell us where the textured ceilings and walls are
- Each coating is sampled and tested
- We go through the options and send a quote
- The room is sealed, and the coating removed wet or the boards taken down
- We clean up and send the waste paperwork
How to prepare
- Find any old asbestos reports
- Tell us about anything that is already damaged
- Warn neighbours if needed
