Artex removal near Tyler Hill
About our artex removal in Tyler Hill
Removing an asbestos textured coating means sealing off the room, keeping the coating wet and never sanding or scraping it dry. From walls before tiling and ceilings coming down, we cover swirl patterns, coated ceiling roses and stipple finishes and more.
Rural homes near Tyler Hill have often been altered over generations, so ceilings may have been coated during an earlier renovation. Everything is explained in plain English, including when it’s better to leave a material in place.

What happens next
If you’ve covered a coating rather than removed it, record where it is.
Once you know what’s there, a few simple habits help:
- Keep pets out of the work area
- Book your plasterer after removal
- Plan where you’ll stay or work while rooms are closed off
- Photos help us quote
Avoid these
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.
Hold off on drilling until you have a result.
Should you do it yourself?
Home testing kits exist, but you have to disturb the material to use one. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.

Questions from Tyler Hill
How far is Tyler Hill from London?
Tyler Hill is about 52 miles from central London, well within our area.
Do you come out to small villages like Tyler Hill?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos are often enough to give a quote, but larger or unclear jobs may need a visit.
Do I need to move out during Artex removal?
The work room is sealed and kept clear. You may be able to use the rest of the house.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not necessarily. Sound material that won’t be touched can often stay, as long as it’s recorded.
Is it better to remove the coating or the ceiling?
Both work; it depends on the room. We’ll explain the options.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No. Asbestos is hazardous waste and must go to a site that accepts it. When we remove it, it’s taken to a permitted site with a consignment note.
What does it cost to remove Artex?
Room size, method and waste all affect the price. We quote once we know what it contains.
