Should you do it yourself?
A professional job comes with paperwork: results, a report or a consignment note, which buyers and builders may ask for.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It must go to a permitted site; check with your council about small amounts.
Your options compared
You will find DIY products for removing Artex, but if the coating contains asbestos, HSE guidance applies. Test first. Doing several things in one visit can help, for example testing several materials, or removing a garage roof and a flue at the same time.

What it might be made of
Coated plasterboard
The coating sits on plasterboard or plaster. Removing the boards can be an option.
Patched areas
Different areas may need separate samples.
What it costs
The price of Artex removal depends mainly on:
- Waste quantity and disposal
- Travel and parking
- The quantity or area
- What the material is and its state
Very low prices can mean corners are being cut: controls, protective equipment, laboratory fees and legal disposal all cost money.

Photos often save us a visit:
- How we’d reach it
- Any damage, cracks or broken pieces

To avoid problems in future:
- Empty the rooms in advance

Things not to do
Never sand or dry-scrape Artex before testing.

Questions from Uxbridge
How far is Uxbridge from London?
We cover Uxbridge, about 17 miles from central London.
Do textured ceilings in Uxbridge homes contain asbestos?
Some may, but many coatings don’t contain asbestos. Testing a sample is the only way to know.
Which asbestos work needs a licence?
Higher-risk materials need an HSE-licensed contractor. Cement and textured coatings typically aren’t licensed.
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.
Do you work in flats?
Yes. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
How much does Artex removal cost in Uxbridge?
It depends on the area, the method and the waste, so we quote after testing.
Can asbestos go in my bin?
No: skips and household bins cannot take asbestos. It has to go to a site that accepts it, with the right paperwork.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
That depends on the job: a survey report, a laboratory result, or a consignment note for removed waste.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Written paperwork: reports, results and waste consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
